Advice on flame simulation

[mingyar]

Hello, can you give me some advice on how to simulate a flame inside a steel tube?

I try to set it as butane but then I have an error message that I have two fluids touching each other (the butane and the air around the tube )

Thanks

Hi Mingyar,

With Autodesk Simulation CFD you cannot model combustion effects.  With that said you can create a resistance region that is approximatly the size of your flame and apply a volumetric heat load to that resistance to include the heat released by the flame.

Thanks Royce that's exactly what I need, just to simulate the heat released by the flame.
Thanks again

Hello, Royce

I am in the same problem with Mingyar, so Could you help me to give information about how to apply volumetric heat on Autodesk Simulation CFD 2015?

Thank you very much.

Within Boundary Conditions, switch from Surface selection to Volume (top of the screen) and then simply select the volume and apply the load 🙂

Are you familiar with CFD already?

Thank you so much Jon.
Yes, I am familiar with CFD since a few months ago.
