You will first define a domain that includes a variable composition mixture. These mixtures are used
to model combusting and reacting flows in CFX.
1. If you want to set up the simulation automatically using a tutorial session file:
a. Run CombustorEDM.pre.
6. Click Save.
Setting Value
File name CombustorMesh.gtm
3. Click Open.
4. Click OK.
If Default Domain does not currently appear under Flow Analysis 1 in the Outline tree:
Edit Case Options > General in the Outline tree view and ensure that Automatic Default
Domain is turned on.
You now need to edit Default Domain so that it is representative of the Eddy Dissipation combustion
and P 1 radiation models.
b. This includes a simple model for partial premixing effects by turning on the
Product Limiter. When it is selected, nonzero initial values are required for
the products. The products limiter is not recommended for multi-step eddy
dissipation reactions, and so is set for this single step reaction only.
2. Click OK.
1. Create a new boundary by clicking Boundary and set the name to fuelin.
3. Click OK.
Two separate boundary conditions will be applied for the incoming air. The first is at the base of the
can combustor. The can combustor employs vanes downstream of the bottom air inlet to give the
incoming air a swirling velocity.
a. The remaining mass fraction at the inlet will be made up from the constraint
component, N2.
3. Click OK.
The secondary air inlets are located on the side of the vessel and introduce extra air to aid
combustion.
3. Click OK.
3. Click OK.
The vanes above the main air inlet are to be modeled as thin surfaces. To create a vane as a thin
surface in CFX-Pre, you must specify a wall boundary on each side of the vanes.
You will first create a new region that contains one side of each of the eight vanes.
1. Create a new composite region by selecting Insert > Regions > Composite Region.
b. Click Multi-select from extended list to open the Selection Dialog box,
then hold the Ctrl key while selecting each item in this list. Click OK.
4. Click OK.
7. Click OK.
The default boundary for any undefined surface in CFX-Pre is a no-slip, smooth, adiabatic wall.
For radiation purposes, the wall is assumed to be a perfectly absorbing and emitting surface
(emissivity = 1).
The wall is non-catalytic, that is, it does not take part in the reaction.
Since this tutorial serves as a basic model, heat transfer through the wall is neglected. As a result, no
further boundary conditions need to be defined.
3. Click OK.
3. Click OK.
Setting Value
File name CombustorEDM.def
3. Click Save.
CFX-Solver Manager automatically starts and, on the Define Run dialog box, the Solver
Input File is set.
4. If using stand-alone mode, quit CFX-Pre, saving the simulation (.cfx) file.
