Description

Cooling Process of a Hot Rotating Steel Structure, CFD Simulation Training by ANSYS Fluent

In this project, the unsteady cooling process of a hot steel structure is investigated by ANSYS Fluent software. In the exact model, the structure is rotating around Z-axis. The actual simulation involving rotation and resulting forced convection requires extreme computational resources. However, in this simulation, the structure is assumed to be rigid, and heat transfer boundary conditions on each surface are modified in such a manner as to mimic the forced convection effects in rotation. In this project, the only energy equation is solved. Free stream convection heat transfer coefficients of red, yellow, and blue sections are considered equal to 80, 90, and 73 w/K.m2, respectively. The free stream flow temperature is assumed to be 243K. The volume average temperature of the whole structure at the start of the simulation and after 1000s is equal to 308.15K and 259.44K, respectively.

Geometry & Mesh

This project’s 3D geometry is modeled in Design Modeler, and the computational grid is generated using Ansys Meshing software. The mesh type in structured and the element number is 600405.

Results & Discussion

Contours of temperature at different simulation times are extracted and presented .

As shown in the chart below, which shows the volume average temperature of the structure as moving further in time, the cooling down rate is very high at the beginning, but as time passes temperature of the structure begins to reach a steady-state which has not yet occurred so far (1000s).

    I found the strategy to mimic forced convection effects interesting. How does the adjustment of heat transfer coefficients impact the simulation compared to actual rotation of the steel structure?

    • Avatar Of Mr Cfd Support

      MR CFD Support

      In the absence of actual rotational movement in the simulation of the steel structure, adjusting the heat transfer coefficients is crucial for mimicking the forced convection effects that would result from rotation. Higher coefficients simulate the increased convective heat transfer that occurs as the structure’s surfaces move through the air. Although this method doesn’t capture all the nuances of a rotating body, such as centrifugal and gyroscopic effects, it effectively approximates the cooling impact on the temperature distribution over the structure’s surfaces.

    The project summary for the hot rotating steel structure CFD simulation was really insightful. I appreciate the detailed explanation of how the heat transfer simulation was carried out, especially the adaptation to mimic forced convection through boundary condition adjustments. The mesh structure, solver settings, and results interpretation are all well-explained, showcasing the models’ efficacy in simulating the cooling process. Great job on the culmination of practical assumptions and computational techniques to achieve the project’s aim.

    The simulation results mentioned are very informative. Can you clarify if the rotation of the steel structure affects the heat transfer coefficients assigned to different sections or are they constant throughout the simulation?

    • Avatar Of Mr Cfd Support

      MR CFD Support

      In this simulation, the rotation of the steel structure itself is not directly modeled to conserve computational resources. Instead, the heat transfer coefficients for the red, yellow, and blue sections are predetermined values chosen to mimic the effect of forced convection on the rotating body. Those coefficients are held constant throughout the simulation, representing an approximation of the changing convection effects due to rotation.

    I am quite impressed with how the simulation captures the different convection rates across the distinct parts of the steel structure. How accurate is the representation of the forced convection from the rotating part within the simulation?

    • Avatar Of Mr Cfd Support

      MR CFD Support

      Thank you for your appreciation! While exact replication of forced convection induced by rotation is computationally intensive, the modifications to the heat transfer boundary conditions in this simulation have been carefully calibrated to resemble the real-world cooling effects of rotation as closely as possible. Despite assumptions and simplifications, the method used is quite accurate and provides a good approximation of the forced convection cooling behaviour in a rotating steel structure.

    The simulation did an excellent job showing how to model the cooling process of a hot rotating steel structure in ANSYS Fluent. The detailed explanation of boundary conditions and solver settings provided a clear understanding of the setup. Also, the structured mesh with a high element count likely helped to capture the complex heat transfer phenomena more accurately.

    Using the product was both educational and enjoyable. The simulation perfectly mimicked the complex behavior of a hot rotating steel structure and how its temperature decreased over time due to forced convection. The approximation technique used to simulate the convection without actually rotating the structure was particularly impressive. Seeing the temperature contours at different times provided practical insight into the cooling process, and the detailed explanation of the settings helped me follow along with the results. Fantastic job!
