Description
Manifold of Engine CFD Simulation by Species Transport, ANSYS Fluent
Manifold of Engine CFD Simulation Problem Description
In this project, steady air flow mixing with fuel is investigated by ANSYS Fluent in a 3-outlet manifold where only one outlet is adequate, and the other 2 outlets are blocked. Two inlets provide air and fuel flow into the domain. Air and fuel flow rates are equal to 0.2335 and 0.0374 kg/s. Species entering the domain via air inlet are nitrogen and oxygen with mass fractions equal to 0.79 and 0.21, respectively. Species entering the domain via fuel inlet are CO, CH4, CO2, N2, and H2, with mass fractions equal to 0.06, 0.004, 0.1, 0.081, and 0.03, respectively.
Engine Manifold Geometry and mesh
The geometry of the fluid domain is designed in the Design Modeler, and the computational grid is generated using ANSYS Meshing. The mesh type is unstructured, and the element number is 231646.
Solver configuration
Critical assumptions:
- The solver type is assumed Pressure Based.
- Time formulation is assumed to be Steady.
- Gravity effects are neglected.

Results and discussion
The mixture mass flow rate at the outlet is equal to 0.2709012 kg/s. Although 2 outlets are considered walls and are blocked, mixture pressure on these surfaces is critical. Pressure on outlets 1 and 2 equals 771.44639 and 780.98142 Pa, respectively.

Bradley Christiansen –
How computationally intensive is this simulation?
MR CFD Support –
The computational intensity of the simulation depends on several factors, including the complexity of the geometry, the number of cells in the mesh, and the complexity of the species transport and reaction models. However, ANSYS Fluent is highly optimized for CFD simulations and can efficiently handle large, complex simulations.
