First I would like to say I am very new to CFD simulations, but do have experience with FEA. I have worked through a few tutorials and I am left with a few issues in a simulation I am trying to run.
I am simulating a air curtain out of a open face refrigerator (see example picture of what I am trying to do). Some issues I am running into is that the velocity seems to drop off to quickly even with high arbitrary numbers. The air flow doesn't seem to want to flow into the open environment that I created and I am not sure what boundary conditions I am missing. I am having trouble modeling the temperatures as well. If anyone could help me out I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi,
There are quite a few important points to make here, I apologise for the long list - make a cup of tea 🙂
I suggest you make thesee changes and re-post your model and then we can discuss further.
Kind regards,
Jon
Thanks Jon for taking the time to explain the issues I am having it helps me immensely.
I will probably try to do a 2D model when making the discussed changes. If I run into anymore problems I will let you know.
Thanks again
Hello Thesinwe and Jon,
I know this post is very old but the application will always remain valid 🙂
I am also trying to do the CFD simulation of a similar open display type cabinet refrigerator using Autodesk's Simulation CFD. Maybe by now you have developed further experience within this field. Has there been any new development within the software or a change in approach to deal with such applications?
Thank you,
Sanket
Hi,
I would say that our approach is pretty similar still 🙂
