[FLUENT]Marangoni effect

Submitted by vekh on

Hello, I've built 2D model of laser spot welding in Ansys Fluent.

Recently I wanted to add Marangoni BC so I've enable "Marangoni Stress"
in "momentum" tab and enter 0.00029 [N/m*K] (for 304 stainless steel).
Tried also other values for different sulfur contents. Values of surface
tension gradient was taken from "Surface tension of molten stainless steels under plasma conditions" T. MATSUMOTO, T. MISONO, H. FUJII, K. NOGI as derivative dy/dt of y= 0.29×T+1030(y - gamma ;-) ).

Would you please help me with that?

Thank you very much in advance.

Looking forward to your answers

Dynamic force on a closing mitre gate

      I'm looking at the design forces acting on a vertically hinged mitre gate for flow control in a canal, (open channel flow).  We know the maximum volumetric flow rate of the water flow when the gate is closing.  How can I estimate the maximum force exerted on the gate as the water causes it to slam shut.  

Designing vanes/baffling for unsymmetrical elbows

Submitted by Petra_Manuel on

Hi everyone,

I want to ask, does anyone know how to design vanes for unsymmetrical elbow? At least can you give me some calculation recommendations to design it? I am doing air simulation inside ductings for my final project. Thanks all
