In addition, you can use the features of ANSYS and ANSYS FLOTRAN to perform tasks including: Calculating the gas pressure and temperature distributions in an engine exhaust manifold Studying the thermal stratification and breakup in piping systems Using flow mixing studies to evaluate potential for thermal shock Doing natural convection analyses to evaluate the thermal performance of chips in electronic enclosures Conducting heat exchanger studies involving different fluids separated by solid regions
These types of analyses are not mutually exclusive. For example, a laminar analysis can be thermal or adiabatic. A turbulent analysis can be compressible or incompressible. To solve any analysis involving the flow of fluid, use either of the following: Command(s): FLDATA1,SOLU,FLOW,TRUE GUI: Main Menu> Solution> FLOTRAN Set Up> Solution Options

Section 1.3: About GUI Paths and Command Syntax For the thermal related analyses described in this guide, specify the material you will be simulating using an intuitive material model interface. This interface uses a hierarchical tree structure of material categories, which is intended to assist you in choosing the appropriate model for your analysis. See Section 1.2.4.4: Material Model Interface in the ANSYS Basic Analysis Guide for details on the material model interface.

Section 2.3: Overview of a FLOTRAN Analysis In FLOTRAN analyses, you cannot ramp loads via the KBC command. The FLOTRAN command FLDATA4,TIME,BC, however, is analogous to the ANSYS command KBC, except that the default for FLOTRAN is a step change. Load case operations, such as those performed by the LCCALC, LCDEF, LCFACT, and LCFILE commands, are not allowed in a FLOTRAN analysis. Do not use the LSWRITE or LSSOLVE command in a FLOTRAN analysis. Use the SOLVE command to start a FLOTRAN solution. The convergence tool invoked with the NCNV command does not apply to the FLOTRAN segregated solver. Do not use the NEQIT command, which defines the number of equilibrium iterations for a nonlinear solution, in a FLOTRAN analysis. FLOTRAN requires the nodal and global Cartesian coordinate systems to be the same. Therefore, you cannot use the rotational fields on the N, NMODIF, and NROTAT commands. In a FLOTRAN analysis, the commands FLDATA2,ITER, FLDATA4,TIME, and FLDATA4A,STEP control items written to the results files (Jobname.RFL and Jobname.PFL FLOTRAN does not permit user programmable elements, such as those specified via the NSVR command. In a FLOTRAN analysis, the commands FLDATA2,ITER and FLDATA4,TIME control items written to the database. The PRNLD command does not apply to FLOTRAN, because it does not store boundary conditions as printable element nodal loads. Node reaction solutions, such as those produced by the PRRSOL command, are not available for FLOTRAN. The partial and predefined solution option (called by the PSOLVE command) does not apply to the FLOTRAN segregated solver. The TIME command, which associates boundary conditions with a particular time value, does not apply to FLOTRAN. FLOTRAN analyses use the FLDATA1,SOLU command instead of the TIMINT command to specify transient load steps. FLOTRAN analyses use the FLDATA4,TIME command instead of the TRNOPT command to specify transient analysis options. The RESCONTROL command does not apply to FLOTRAN. Some of the functionality of RESCONTROL is provided with the FLDATA32,REST command. For FLOTRAN, you cannot use the DK command to define DOF constraints at keypoints.

Section 2.4: Files the FLOTRAN Elements Create For flow analysis, especially turbulent, you should not use pyramid elements in the region near the walls because it may lead to inaccuracies in the solution. Wedge elements can be useful when a complex area can be easily meshed with triangles that are then extruded. For a quick solution, you can use wedge elements in the region near the walls. However, for accurate results, you should use hexahedral elements in those regions. Wedge elements are considered to be degenerate hexahedral elements. When using the ANSYS MeshTool (Main Menu> Preprocessor> Meshing> MeshTool) to sweep triangles into wedges, you must select Hex elements.

Chapter 2: The Basics of FLOTRAN Analysis The residual file, Jobname.RDF, contains the nodal residuals. The debug file, Jobname.DBG, contains information about algebraic solver performance. The results backup file, Jobname.RFO, contains a copy of the results file data. The restart file, Jobname.CFD, contains FLOTRAN data structures. The domain file, (jobname.pv_0000n) for use by ICEM CFD's PV3 postprocessing visualization tool.
Section 2.4: Files the FLOTRAN Elements Create and forcing functions for each DOF. If a solution is converged completely, these matrices and forcing functions will produce the same velocity field used to generate them and the residuals of the matrix equation will be very small. You must request at least one global iteration to obtain a nodal residual file. If a solution oscillates, however, the magnitude of the residuals shows where the maximum errors are. (The main diagonal entries of the matrix normalize the residuals.) This normalization enables you to compare directly the value of the DOF and the value of its residual. To calculate residuals for every active degree of freedom and output them to the residuals file, do either of the following: Command(s): FLDATA5,OUTP,RESI,TRUE GUI: Main Menu> Solution> FLOTRAN SetUp> Additional Out> Residual File To read the residuals file, either issue the FLREAD command (Main Menu> General Postproc> FLOTRAN 2.1A). The residuals are postprocessed with the label associated with the DOF (for instance, TEMP or PRES for the temperature or pressure residuals).
27
Chapter 2: The Basics of FLOTRAN Analysis Issue the command FLDATA32,REST,Label,Value. Specify one of the labels listed above in place of Label. The Value argument causes values associated with the other criteria to be zeroed. Once invoked, the behavior is turned off in the database by setting all the criteria to zero. If you are restarting from a different results file, you also need to specify the filename, extension, and directory of that file. Choose menu path Main Menu> Preprocessor> FLOTRAN Set Up> Restart Options> Restart/Iteration (or Restart/Load step, Restart/Set, etc.)
If you specify invalid criteria, ANSYS notifies you and (if the program is operating in batch mode) terminates the analysis. When you restart an analysis, ANSYS copies the original results file to the file Jobname.RSO and places the restart point, all previous results sets, and all subsequent results sets in the new Jobname.RFL file. If the Value input on the FLDATA32,REST command is negative, creation of the Jobname.RSO file is blocked. FLOTRAN uses the absolute value of the number specified for Value. If a results file name is entered in the Fname field of the FLDATA32,REST command, FLOTRAN interpolates those results onto the current mesh in the database, regardless of whether or not the mesh has changed. This causes the convergence monitors to start again from zero. This restart is different than a restart without a file name specification. However, the results quickly converge to the original solution.
Section 2.5: Convergence and Stability Tools The inertial relaxation factor is in the denominator of the term added, so smaller values have a greater effect. Typical useful values range between 1.0 (mild) and 1.0 x 10-7 (severe).

The convergence monitor represents the sum of changes of the variable calculated from the results between the current kth iteration and the previous (k-1)th iteration, divided by the sum of the current values. The summation is performed over all n nodes, using the absolute values of the differences. Available in both batch and interactive sessions, the Graphical Solution Tracking (GST) feature displays the computed convergence monitors while the solution is in process. Be default, GST is ON for interactive sessions and OFF for batch runs. To turn GST on or off, use either of the following: Command(s): /GST GUI: Main Menu> Solution> Load Step Opts> Output Ctrls> Grph Solu Track Figure 2.1: Convergence Monitors Displayed by the GST Feature shows two typical GST displays:

Section 2.6: What to Watch For During a FLOTRAN Analysis After perhaps some initial fluctuations, convergence monitors will decrease as the analysis approaches convergence. How small the numbers become depends on several factors, such as: Complexity of the geometry Adequacy of the finite element mesh in regions with steep gradients The severity of the turbulence levels, indicated by the flow Reynolds number Development of the flow near outlet boundaries
Points to remember when using graphical solution tracking include: The GST feature is available for FLOTRAN analyses and also for structural, thermal, and electromagnetic analyses containing nonlinearities. For information about using GST to track convergence in non-FLOTRAN analyses, see the ANSYS Thermal Analysis Guide, the ANSYS Low-Frequency Electromagnetic Analysis Guide, and the ANSYS Structural Analysis Guide. GST can display up to ten curves at the same time. (Your model can include more than ten DOFs, but only the first ten will be displayed.) When the GST begins its plotting, ANSYS displays a dialog box with a STOP button. You can stop the solution at any time by clicking on this button. To restart it, issue SOLVE or choose Main Menu> Solution> Run FLOTRAN. The time label which is positioned above the graph reveals the time at the last iteration.

These questions are interrelated, since convergence may not be achieved it you have not set up and executed the analysis correctly. If you have set the input parameters and boundary conditions correctly, the analysis is complete when the convergence monitors for all variables stop decreasing and the average, maximum, and minimum values of the solution variables no longer increase or decrease. There is no guarantee, however, that you will achieve a single exact answer because nature does not guarantee that a single exact answer exists. Oscillatory problems (for example, vortex shedding behind a cylinder) may not yield stationary results from a steady-state or a transient solution algorithm. You may wish to continue executing the analysis to verify whether a solution has a stable or a fluctuating nature. The ANSYS program stores the average, minimum, and maximum values of the solution variables in the file Jobname.PFL. This file also records the FLOTRAN input plus the convergence monitors which have been calculated. The results summary includes all the DOF, as well as laminar and effective properties. You determine how often ANSYS issues the results summary by using one of these methods: Command(s): FLDATA5,OUTP,SUMF,Value GUI: Main Menu> Preprocessor> FLOTRAN Set Up> Additional Out> RFL Out Derived Main Menu> Solution> FLOTRAN Set Up> Additional Out> RFL Out Derived The Value argument is the number of global iterations that pass before ANSYS issues the next results summary. You may also want to map your results onto a path through your model. See Section 5.3.5: Mapping Results onto a Path in the ANSYS Basic Analysis Guide for more information on reviewing results along a path.
The ANSYS program tabulates the number of inlets/outlets, which should correspond to expectations. 2. 3. 4. 5. Check boundary conditions within ANSYS to ensure that they are accurate. Check that you specified the properties correctly and that they can vary with temperature and pressure if necessary. The results summary in the Jobname.PFL file is a convenient place to check this. Check that the length units used to build the model are consistent with those used in specifying properties. In some cases, you need to verify that equations associated with the options chosen are solved correctly (for instance, the pressure equation in compressible flow).

Section 2.8: Verifying Results 6. If the unexpected result of your analysis is divergence, the finite element mesh may not have sufficient resolution, or significant gradients may exist near outlets. To resolve this, you may need to use convergence aids such as relaxation. Later sections in this document discuss various relaxation techniques. If you get a diverged solution for a particular variable, you can re-initialize that variable to a single value and continue. To do so, use one of these methods: Command(s): FLDATA29,MODV GUI: Main Menu> Preprocessor> FLOTRAN Set Up> Mod Res/Quad Ord> Modify Results Main Menu> Solution> FLOTRAN Set Up> Mod Res/Quad Ord> Modify Results

Chapter 3: FLOTRAN Laminar and Turbulent Incompressible Flow The distinction between incompressible and compressible flow lies in both the equation of state and the solution algorithm. In an incompressible flow, density variations can drive the flow only through gravitational acceleration. Temperature changes cause variations of density. In a compressible flow, the density changes caused by pressure variations significantly affect the momentum and temperature equations.
In any event, the incompressible algorithm can measure flow of an ideal gas, complete with small density changes due to pressure. See Chapter 8, FLOTRAN Compressible Analyses for more information.
VLc
The density (mass/length3) and absolute viscosity (mass/length-time) are properties of the fluid. For internal flow problems, the characteristic dimension is the hydraulic diameter, defined as: 4 (Cross-Sectional Flow Area) Lc =Dh = Wetted Perimeter For example, the hydraulic diameter of a pipe is simply the diameter. As a general guideline for internal flow problems such as flow in pipes, the turbulence model should usually be activated if the Reynolds number is in excess of about 2300. For an external flow problem, such as the flow over an airfoil, the characteristic length is a parameter such as the length of the airfoil (wing cross section for a 2-D analysis). For flow over a flat plate, the dimension is the length along the plate from the leading edge, with the transition to turbulence occurring at a Reynolds number of approximately 500,000. For more information, see the ANSYS, Inc. Theory Reference.

Chapter 3: FLOTRAN Laminar and Turbulent Incompressible Flow 5. 6. 7. 8. Nonlinear Model of Girimaji (GIR) Shih, Zhu, Lumley Model (SZL) k- Turbulence Model Shear Stress Transport Turbulence Model (SST)
Turbulence modeling is activated by either of the following: Command(s): FLDATA1,SOLU,TURB,T GUI: Main Menu> Preprocessor> FLOTRAN Setup> Solution Options Main Menu> Solution> FLOTRAN Setup> Solution Options To select a model, you use either of the following: Command(s): FLDATA24,TURB,MODL,Value GUI: Main Menu> Preprocessor> FLOTRAN Setup> Turbulence> Turbulence Model Main Menu> Solution> FLOTRAN Setup> Turbulence> Turbulence Model Normally, the Standard k- Model is the first model to apply. It usually provides a realistic picture of the flow. It is fine for the analysis of turbulent flow in pipes and channels. However, it over predicts the amount of turbulence in a number of situations. For example, the flow in a converging nozzle undergoes significant normal strain and the Standard k- Model over predicts the amount of turbulence. The resulting kinetic energy is over predicted, and the resulting effective viscosity prevents simulation of shock waves in some cases. In general, the RNG, NKE, GIR, and SZL turbulence models produce significantly more realistic and reliable results in regions of large strain. This is particularly important for cases where the flow is strongly accelerated or decelerated (e.g. a converging nozzle) or where there is significant separation or recirculation (e.g. a duct that goes through a 180 degree change of direction). Other situations where the Standard k- Model encounters difficulties include flows with stagnation points. The RNG, NKE, GIR, and SZL turbulence models control the excess turbulence by applying adjustments to C and the source term of the dissipation equation. The adjustments are made in accordance with the local rate of strain. The k- turbulence model has the advantage near the walls to accurately predict the turbulence length scale in the presence of an adverse pressure gradient. The k- model is much more sensitive to the free-stream turbulence levels than the k- model. The Shear Stress Transport model (SST) combines the k- model near the wall and the k- model away from the wall to overcome the deficiencies of both models. See the ANSYS Commands Reference and the ANSYS, Inc. Theory Reference for more information on the models.

It is the multiplier of the shear rate generation term of the turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate equation. C2 - Value is the k- turbulence model C2 constant. It is the multiplier of the dissipation source term in the turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate equation. SCTK - Value is the Schmidt number for the turbulent kinetic energy. The diffusion term in the turbulent kinetic energy equation is divided by this factor. SCTD - Value is the Schmidt number for the kinetic energy dissipation rate. The diffusion term in the dissipation rate equation is divided by this factor. To set the Standard k- Model constants C, C1, C2, SCTK, and SCTD, you use either of the following: Command(s): FLDATA24,TURB,Label,Value GUI: Main Menu> Preprocessor> FLOTRAN Setup> Turbulence> Turbulence Model Main Menu> Solution> FLOTRAN Setup> Turbulence> Turbulence Model The following five wall parameters control turbulence wall modeling. The wall parameters apply for all turbulence models except the Zero Equation Turbulence Model. KAPP - Value is the law of the wall constant. It is the slope of the plot of normalized shear velocity (u+) versus the nondimensionalized distance from the wall (y+). See ANSYS, Inc. Theory Reference for details. EWLL - Value is the law of the wall constant. It is related to the y intercept value for a plot of normalized shear velocity (u+) versus the nondimensionalized distance from the wall (y+). See the ANSYS, Inc. Theory Reference for more details. WALL - Value is the choice of wall conductivity model. The default model is the Van Driest model (Value = VAND), used most often for high Prandtl number fluids. The second choice is the Spalding model (Value = SPAL), applicable to low Prandtl number fluids. The third choice is the Equilibrium model (Value = EQLB). The equilibrium model is also automatically invoked for the wall viscosity by this command. VAND - Value is the constant in the Van Driest wall conductivity model. See the ANSYS, Inc. Theory Reference for details. TRAN - Value is the magnitude of y+ marking the outer boundary of the laminar sublayer. Used only for the Equilibrium Wall model.

Section 3.4: Flow Boundary Conditions You can evaluate the adequacy of the mesh near the walls. Applying the turbulence model near walls involves the "Log Law of the Wall," the relationship between a nondimensionalized distance from the wall Y+, and the log of a nondimensionalized velocity in a region near the wall. This law calculates a near wall viscosity that is consistent with experimentally determined velocity profiles near the wall. Values of Y+ are relevant only for wall nodes and are available for postprocessing (YPLU). Optimum values of Y+ are between approximately 30 and 1000. If the pressure is decreasing in the direction of flow, values up to 5000 are acceptable. FLOTRAN handles the case where Y+ is less than 30 for the near wall node by assuming that the near wall node is in the laminar sublayer or the overlap region. In the former case, the near wall viscosity is simply the laminar value. If Y+ is very small, perhaps below 1, more elements than necessary are being used to resolve the flow distribution field. If Y+ is greater than 5000, decrease the mesh spacing near the wall. Caution: Use enough elements to resolve the flow field in the regions of interest. You should use at least four elements to span the cross sections of long thin channels. Use more than four elements where thin channels connect to larger regions.

311
Chapter 3: FLOTRAN Laminar and Turbulent Incompressible Flow Specified Pressure: Typically, you apply a relative pressure (usually zero) as an outlet boundary condition. In the absence of gravity and a rotating reference frame, the absolute pressure is the sum of the FLOTRAN (relative) pressure and the reference pressure. See the ANSYS, Inc. Theory Reference for a more complete discussion of pressure. A problem may also be pressure driven, in which case one of the pressure boundaries is an inlet. Note If significant gradients are calculated near a boundary, a mass imbalance can occur. This is due to the implied condition of fully developed flow for a constant pressure boundary. If the flow has not fully developed, FLOTRAN is forced to adjust it across the last row of elements to satisfy the boundary condition. Occasionally, this adjustment may cause a mass imbalance. To prevent this from occurring, you can add a development length to the exit. This addition does not actually need to match the physical flow geometry. You can subtract the pressure drop in this "chimney" to obtain the desired pressure drop. The pressure drop in the "chimney" will vary over its full cross section. You will have to choose a representative value of the pressure drop to match the desired outlet conditions. You will not know this pressure drop, of course, until after you examine the results from the chimney. You can opt to apply an exit pressure profile, based on these results, to the original geometry. You can calculate the required length of the chimney (L) using the characteristic diameter (D) from the development length formula: Laminar flow: L/D ~ 0.06 Re Turbulent flow: L/D ~ 4.4 Re1/6 Typically, a chimney 20 to 25 diameters long will be sufficient. Although the mesh in this region may be coarse, you should avoid drastic changes in element size by using a size ratio in the chimney. The important feature is the chimney length, not the number of nodes in it. Symmetry Boundary: The velocity component normal to the boundary is specified as zero. Leave all other degrees of freedom unspecified. Generalized Symmetry Boundary Conditions: You can also apply generalized symmetry boundary conditions. Velocity components are set tangential to the symmetry surface if the ALE formulation is not activated. They are set equal to the mesh velocity if the ALE formulation is activated. To apply generalized symmetry boundary conditions, use one of the following commands or the GUI equivalent: D,NODE,ENDS,-1 DL,LINE,AREA,ENDS,-1,Value2 DA,AREA,ENDS,-1,Value2 With one exception, if any velocity component is specified at the same boundary, the generalized symmetry boundary conditions are overwritten. In a 2-D swirl problem, specification of a velocity component VZ does not overwrite generalized symmetry conditions. Stationary Wall: This is also referred to as a no-slip condition. All the velocity components are set to zero. Moving Wall: Specify the velocity component tangent to the wall and set all other velocity components to zero. As a flag to indicate this is a moving wall, set the turbulent kinetic energy to -1 on a moving wall. This specification is as a flag only; it does not affect the performance of the wall turbulence model. If you are using the GUI, indicate a moving wall when specifying the velocities. Unspecified Boundary: In this case, neither the relative pressure nor the velocities are known. The most common application for this is at downstream boundaries in compressible supersonic flow.

Section 3.4: Flow Boundary Conditions Periodic Boundary: Conditions are unknown but identical at two boundaries. You select the nodes at one boundary and then issue the macro PERI,DX, DY, DZ, where DX, DY, and DZ are the offsets of the second boundary from the first. The offsets are input in the established FLOTRAN coordinate system. The meshes at the two boundaries must be identical. Intersections: At the intersection of surfaces where two different boundary conditions are applied, either the boundary conditions are merged or one takes precedence over the other. The following table provides guidance on what boundary conditions are applied at the intersection.
Note Inflow, symmetry , and wall boundary conditions all overwrite generalized symmetry conditions. Inlet Values: If you activate the turbulence model, boundary conditions are required. The ANSYS program supplies default values based on the inlet velocity and a scale factor. Given an inlet velocity magnitude V, the inlet kinetic energy is specified as: 3 kinlet = [(ININ)V]2 2 The default value of the factor ININ is 0.01, corresponding to a level of turbulence of 1 percent at the inlet. The inlet value of the kinetic energy dissipation rate is calculated from:
inlet =
3 Ck 2
(INSF)L
The INSF value is a user-controlled scale factor. To specify the factors ININ and INSF, use either of the following methods: Command(s): FLDATA24,TURB,ININ,Value and FLDATA24,TURB,INSF,Value GUI: Main Menu> Preprocessor> FLOTRAN Set Up> Turbulence> Turbulence Param

Chapter 3: FLOTRAN Laminar and Turbulent Incompressible Flow Main Menu> Solution> FLOTRAN Set Up> Turbulence> Turbulence Param You can set specific values of the turbulent kinetic energy (ENKE) or the dissipation rate (ENDS) using either the FLDATA24 command or the menu paths in Section 3.2.2: Determining Whether an Analysis Is Turbulent. Occasionally, you may wish to activate the turbulence model for the case, but deactivate it for certain regions. To deactivate the turbulence model in regions, set the kinetic energy (ENKE) to zero and the dissipation rate (ENDS) to 1.0. It is never valid to set the dissipation rate to zero, and FLOTRAN prohibits it. ENDS will be set to 1.0, if ENKE is set to zero. Wall Roughness: The FLOTRAN default condition is smooth walls. To specify wall roughness values, you must use the equilibrium wall turbulence model. You activate it using the FLDATA24,TURB,WALL,EQLB command. To apply a uniform wall roughness in length units to all walls, you can use the FLDATA24,TURB,KS,Value command. In addition to being the actual roughness, the KS parameter determines the regime of roughness (smooth, transitional, or fully rough). The default value of 0.0 implies a smooth wall. You can also apply an empirical dimensionless factor (CKS) between 0.5 and 1.0 that specifies the degree of nonuniformity of the surface. The default value of 0.5 means that the roughness signified by KS is uniformly distributed. Higher values increase the roughness losses without changing the flow regime implied by the value of KS. You can use the FLDATA24,TURB,CKS,Value command to specify this factor. The following two methods are available if you have surfaces that require different roughness values. The first method utilizes real constants for all the wall elements. You apply suitable KS and CKS values to the near wall elements as real constants. A different real constant set will exist for each set of wall roughnesses. Note that roughness constants applied to elements that are not near wall will be ignored. Also, any KS and CKS values specified by the FLDATA24,TURB command will be ignored. The second method is for cases where most of the surfaces have the same roughness condition and only a few are different. First, set the values appropriate for most of the surfaces with the FLDATA24,TURB command. Then use real constants to apply roughnesses to the walls that have different conditions. The real constants will overwrite the FLDATA24,TURB values. Note that if the same value of CKS is applied to all the surfaces (as is typical), it can be controlled with the FLDATA24,TURB command and the real constant can be omitted.

Set the turbulence inertial relaxation factor to 1.0. Values as low as 1.0-2 may help. (For incompressible flow problems, you may not need to vary this factor.) To set the turbulence inertial relaxation factor, use the following: Command(s): FLDATA26,STAB,TURB,Value GUI: Main Menu> Preprocessor> FLOTRAN Set Up> Relax/Stab/Cap> Stability Parms Main Menu> Solution> FLOTRAN Set Up> Relax/Stab/Cap> Stability Parms 4. Use pressure and momentum relaxation factors less than 0.5. If values as low as 0.2 do not help, going lower probably will not help either. To set the pressure and momentum relaxation factors, use the following: Command(s): FLDATA25,RELX,PRES,Value FLDATA25,RELX,VX (or VY, VZ),Value GUI: Main Menu> Preprocessor> FLOTRAN Set Up> Relax/Stab/Cap> DOF Relaxation Main Menu> Solution> FLOTRAN Set Up> Relax/Stab/Cap> DOF Relaxation 5. Begin the problem with a higher turbulence ratio (meaning a higher initial effective viscosity). Do not set values for this parameter, which takes effect only at problem startup, above 1.0 x 107. The ratio set controls the initial effective viscosity no matter when you activate the turbulence model. To set the turbulence ratio, use either of these methods: Command(s): FLDATA24,TURB,RATI,Value GUI: Main Menu> Preprocessor> FLOTRAN Set Up> Turbulence> Turbulence Param Main Menu> Solution> FLOTRAN Set Up> Turbulence> Turbulence Param 6. After initializing with the correct properties, solve the problem with a higher viscosity and the turbulence model turned off. When the flow field is partially converged, the turbulence model is activated. You may need to reduce the relaxation factor of the effective viscosity to 0.1 or 0.0 for some global iterations to allow partial convergence of the turbulence equations. Refer to the foregoing strategies for command information. Difficulties can involve large changes in properties due to large fluctuations in pressure or temperature. Preventing property variations early in the analysis (until the large fluctuations calm down) can stabilize the analysis significantly. You also can invoke velocity capping to prevent large values of velocities or pressures. This is particularly useful in compressible analyses, where velocity spikes can cause negative static temperatures. To implement velocity capping, use either of the following methods: Command(s): FLDATA31,CAPP,Label,Value GUI: Main Menu> Preprocessor> FLOTRAN Set Up> Relax/Stab/Cap> Results Capping Main Menu> Solution> FLOTRAN Set Up> Relax/Stab/Cap> Results Capping If you use the FLDATA31 command, Label represents a capping parameter such as VELO (velocity), or TEMP (temperature). Value is either the capping flag (T or F) or the capping parameter value. Pressure capping applies to relative values of pressure. Temperature capping applies to absolute values of temperature. 8. Problems involving pyramid, wedge or in particular tetrahedral element shapes may require tighter convergence of the pressure equation. Values as low as 1.E-18 may be required (FLDATA21,CONV,PRES,1.E18). You should reduce the convergence criterion until, from one global iteration to the next, the number of iterations required to solve the equation varies by less than 10 percent (as per the Jobname.DBG file).

Chapter 3: FLOTRAN Laminar and Turbulent Incompressible Flow 9. The solution of the pressure equation may affect the mass balance. The mass balance may be incorrect (as per the Jobname.PFL file) if large aspect ratio elements are near significant flow area changes. Mass imbalances may also occur if inlet or outlet regions are too coarsely meshed or if the flow tends to exit at an angle at outlets.
10. If FLOTRAN displays a message stating that the coefficient matrix has a negative diagonal and the solution is probably divergent, try turning on modified inertial relaxation in the momentum equation or turbulence equation. Set the Value between 0.1 and 1.0. To achieve a faster convergence rate, use the smallest Value possible. To set the turbulence inertial relaxation factor, use the following: Command(s): FLDATA34,MIR,Label,Value GUI: Main Menu> Preprocessor> FLOTRAN Set Up> Relax/Stab/Cap> MIR Stabilization Main Menu> Solution> FLOTRAN Set Up> Relax/Stab/Cap> MIR Stabilization 11. If you notice anomalous results for 3-D problems, you should increasing the quadrature order to 2. 12. Specifying the Streamline Upwind/Petrov-Galerkin (SUPG) approach for momentum may help convergence. Specifying the SUPG approach for temperature may also yield more accurate energy solutions and hence more accurate energy balances.

Chapter 4: FLOTRAN Thermal Analyses The applicable commands are summarized below. You can apply your boundary conditions via TABLE type array parameters (see Section 2.3.4.2.1: Applying Loads Using TABLE Type Array Parameters in the ANSYS Basic Analysis Guide). You can also apply your boundary conditions using function boundary conditions (see Section 2.6.15: Applying Loads Using Function Boundary Conditions in the ANSYS Basic Analysis Guide). You can define a TABLE type array parameter to apply your boundary conditions in a FLOTRAN analysis. Attempting to use tabular boundary conditions in a FLOTRAN analysis will create erroneous results.

Note You must use tabular boundary conditions if you are applying tapered heat flux or convection loads.
4.4.1.3. Solutions
The following list describes what is known and what is calculated as a function of the type of boundary specified. For temperature boundary conditions, heat flux and heat transfer coefficient are calculated. For heat flux boundary conditions, temperature and heat transfer coefficient are calculated. For ambient radiation boundary conditions, temperature and heat flux are calculated. For surface-to-surface radiation boundary conditions, temperature and heat flux are calculated. For heat transfer boundary conditions, temperature and heat flux are calculated. For adiabatic boundary conditions, temperature is calculated.
When you apply a heat transfer (film) coefficient, you also specify an associated ambient temperature. The ANSYS program uses this along with the surface temperature to calculate the heat flux at that boundary. You specify heat flux and heat transfer coefficients at external model boundaries. You cannot specify them at general internal surfaces. You can specify heat flux and heat transfer coefficients at internal boundary faces (such as fluid/solid interface surfaces), but FLOTRAN will issue a warning because they are probably incorrect. In a standard FLOTRAN analysis the heat transfer at a fluid/solid boundary is a desired result, not a boundary condition. If you wish to apply a heat flux or a heat transfer coefficient, you should apply it at the external solid material boundary, or at the edge of the fluid region without modeling the solid material in the analysis. If you specify a film coefficient or a heat flux at an internal fluid/solid interface, FLOTRAN interprets it to be a line/area heat source or sink. You can prescribe temperatures anywhere. In cases where you must calculate the heat transfer coefficient at a surface, ANSYS uses the surface temperature along with the bulk temperature you specify using either of the following methods: Command(s): FLDATA14,TEMP,BULK,Value GUI: Main Menu> Preprocessor> FLOTRAN Set Up> Flow Environment> Ref Conditions Main Menu> Solution> FLOTRAN Set Up> Flow Environment> Ref Conditions If the analysis is compressible, boundary condition temperatures are in terms of total temperature, and the temperature equation is formulated and solved in terms of total temperature.

Chapter 4: FLOTRAN Thermal Analyses The FLOTRAN ambient radiation load simulates radiation heat transfer to space at a constant temperature. You specify the constant temperature with the SF command. You specify the Stefan-Boltzmann constant with the STEF command (defaults to 0.119E-10 Btu/hr/in2/ R4). The form factor is 1.0 by assumption. Since radiation can pass through a fluid region and impact on a solid, you can apply the ambient radiation load on a fluid/solid interface, as well as on external model boundaries. In this case, you should apply the surface load to either the fluid or solid element faces, or the solid model entity defining the interface. If you apply the load to more than one face, FLOTRAN applies the boundary conditions on only one face and issues a message that it skipped duplicate boundary conditions.

Section 4.5: Solution Strategies For information on the energy units required for thermal quantities when an incompressible analysis includes viscous heating, refer to Section 9.2: Fluid Property Types.
Buoyancy property types, which use a constant pressure to evaluate the density from the ideal gas law are provided for AIR. (See Chapter 9, Specifying Fluid Properties for FLOTRAN.) Pressure fluctuations are thus prevented from causing instabilities in density calculations. Natural convection cases converge slowly, and may be more stable if the TDMA algorithm is used for pressure and temperature. The number of sweeps used may be set to Number of Nodes/10, but should be at least 100.

Chapter 4: FLOTRAN Thermal Analyses You can evaluate performance of the Conjugate Residual and Preconditioned Conjugate Residual methods by looking at the Jobname.DBG file (described in Chapter 11, FLOTRAN CFD Solvers and the Matrix Equation). The most robust, but most memory-intensive, method for solving conjugate heat transfer problems is the Preconditioned Generalized Minimum Residual method. You can access it via either of the following: Command(s): FLDATA18,METH,TEMP,4 GUI: Main Menu> Solution> FLOTRAN Set Up> CFD Solver Controls> Temp Solver CFD The Preconditioned Generalized Minimum Residual (PGMR) solution method is the default choice for temperature. Although the same user controls exist for the PGMR method as for the PCCR solver, the default values are different. For PGMR, the least restrictive convergence criterion allowed is 1.E-10. If you try to use a less restrictive convergence criterion, FLOTRAN will change it to 1.E-10. A convergence criterion as low as 1.E-20 may be necessary for some problems. In addition, you should use at least 12 search vectors, and FLOTRAN ensures this. For the PGMR solver, 12 search vectors is the default and the allowable range is 12 to 20. FLOTRAN non-fluid elements support both temperature dependence and orthotropic variation. That is, KXX, KYY, and KZZ can assume different values and temperature variations. FLOTRAN considers conductivity as an element quantity, evaluated at the quadrature points in the element. However, in fluid elements, FLOTRAN considers thermal conductivity to be a nodal quantity. To specify the variable and orthotropic conductivities, you use the following commands or GUI paths: Command(s): MP or MPDATA GUI: Main Menu> Preprocessor> Loads> Load Step Opts> Other> Change Mat Props Main Menu> Preprocessor> Material Props> Material Models> CFD> Conductivity> Orthotropic Main Menu> Solution> Load Step Opts> Other> Change Mat Props Main Menu> Preprocessor> Loads> Load Step Opts> Other> Change Mat Props Note Thermal analysis problems having variable thermal conductivity are nonlinear and require multiple iterations to solve. Variable solid thermal conductivities are not relaxed. For a conjugate heat transfer problem, it is wise to obtain an initial temperature solution before solving the coupled energy/momentum equations. To achieve the temperature solution, use the following: Command(s): FLDATA1,SOLU,FLOW,F GUI: Main Menu> Solution> FLOTRAN Set Up> Solution Options Command(s): FLDATA1,SOLU,TEMP,T GUI: Main Menu> Solution> FLOTRAN Set Up> Solution Options Command(s): FLDATA25,RELX,TEMP,1.0 GUI: Main Menu> Solution> FLOTRAN Set Up> Relax/Stab/Cap> DOF Relaxation Command(s): FLDATA2,ITER,EXEC,1 GUI: Main Menu> Solution> FLOTRAN Set Up> Execution Ctrl Command(s): FLDATA18,METH,TEMP,3 GUI: Main Menu> Solution> FLOTRAN Set Up> CFD Solver Contr> TEMP Solver CFD In the above steps, an initial temperature solution is obtained from a solution of the heat conduction equation. FLOTRAN can calculate film coefficients at walls in conjugate heat transfer problems. Two algorithms are available for this purpose: the conductivity matrix algorithm and the temperature field algorithm. The conductivity matrix algorithm uses the thermal conductivity matrix to calculate heat fluxes and film coefficients. It is the default. Generally, it produces satisfactory results for well shaped elements. However, if the elements are not well shaped, it can produce non-smooth results. You should then switch to the temperature field algorithm. It calculates film coefficients directly from thermal gradients. To set the algorithm, use the following: Command(s): FLDATA37,ALGR,HFLM,Value

Chapter 5: FLOTRAN Transient Analyses The table below shows the values you can specify. A brief description of the FLOTRAN calculation follows the table.
The advection limit prevents a particle of fluid from passing completely through a finite element during a time step. The pressure wave limit means the time step is chosen small enough to prevent a pressure wave from passing all the way through a finite element during a single time step. This option is active only if you choose the compressible solution algorithm. The choice of -3 (again valid only for compressible analyses) means that the more restrictive (that is, smaller) time step criterion will be imposed. The conduction limit is calculated to prevent the conductive diffusion of a parcel of energy completely through an element during a time step. The limit applies only to problems that include conduction, and is valid for problems with both fluid and non-fluid elements. FLOTRAN must execute global iterations to converge within a time step. The time step terminates when either of the following happens: The convergence criteria are met. The maximum number of global iterations allowed per time step executes.
You set the maximum number of global iterations per time step using one of the following: Command(s): FLDATA4A,TIME,GLOB,Value GUI: Main Menu> Preprocessor> FLOTRAN Set Up> Execution Ctrl Main Menu> Solution> FLOTRAN Set Up> Execution Ctrl The convergence criteria are values below which the convergence monitors for each active degree of freedom must drop to cause the time step to terminate. You specify these values using the following commands or menu paths: Command(s): FLDATA4,TIME,Label,Value GUI: Main Menu> Preprocessor> FLOTRAN Set Up> Execution Ctrl Main Menu> Solution> FLOTRAN Set Up> Execution Ctrl As soon as all the convergence criteria are met, the time step terminates. The time step terminates on the number of global iterations allowed if the convergence monitor criteria are not met. If the problem is adiabatic, only the pressure equation monitor is checked. Both the pressure and temperature equation monitors must be reduced below the convergence criteria values if the temperature equation also is solved.

Chapter 5: FLOTRAN Transient Analyses The ramp is between the old boundary conditions and the new boundary conditions. A boundary condition is considered old as soon as FLOTRAN has gone through the calculational loop. This means that to use a ramped condition at the beginning of an analysis, a zero iteration execution (which may be accomplished with the FLOCHECK command) should be done with the initial condition (applied as a boundary condition) and then the boundary condition value(s) are changed to those at the end in the ramp. Note that the ramp is calculated with the value of TEND as specified above, NOT the actual ending time in the case. For this reason, it is recommended that the user terminate the case with the TIME controls rather than the STEP controls. Ensure that the case will not terminate prematurely due to an insufficient number of time steps. If the case terminates before the time specified by TEND, upon restart the boundary conditions will be immediately changed from where they were when the run terminated to what the current boundary condition setting is. If you use the STEP controls in the GUI to set the number of time steps, you need to set TEND in that same dialog box. Otherwise, TEND defaults to 1.0 x 106 and the ramp is almost nonexistent. Transient boundary conditions on velocity DOF (VX, VY, and VZ) must not be ramped from zero to a nonzero value. A very small velocity must be used instead of zero so that FLOTRAN recognizes the face as an inlet or outlet rather than a wall. At any time, you can change the applied boundary conditions to the "old" state with one of the following: Command(s): FLOCHECK,2 GUI: Main Menu> Preprocessor> FLOTRAN Setup> Flocheck FLOCHECK,2 has no effect on the Jobname.RFL file. Caution: FLOTRAN has no record of boundary conditions at earlier times. That is, if you want to restart from an earlier point in time and simulate a ramped boundary condition it is necessary to apply the boundary condition appropriate for the beginning of the ramp, make it an old condition via the FLOCHECK command, and then apply the condition at the end of the ramp.

Chapter 6: Volume of Fluid (VOF) Analyses During the analysis, if a partial element does not have any full elements as neighbors, it will be reset to empty. You should also include at least one layer of empty elements above the free surface to allow the surface to evolve in time. To set the initial volume fraction field, use one of the following: Command(s): ICE,ELEM,VFRC,Value GUI: Main Menu> Preprocessor> Loads> Define Loads> Apply> Fluid/CFD> Volume Fract> Init Loads> On Elements Main Menu> Solution> Define Loads> Apply> Fluid/CFD> Volume Fract> Init Loads> On Elements By default, the volume fraction is zero. Therefore, if there is fluid initially inside the problem domain, you must set the VFRC field accordingly. To set the initial volume fraction for a given geometry, use one of the following: Command(s): ICVFRC,GEOM,VAL1,VAL2,VAL3,VAL4 GUI: Main Menu> Preprocessor> Loads> Define Loads> Apply> Volume Fract> Init Loads> By Geom Main Menu> Solution> Define Loads> Apply> Fluid/CFD> Volume Frac> Init Loads> By Geom ICVFRC automatically calculates the volume fraction value for all selected elements that are either inside the given geometry or intersect with it. The volume fraction is: One for elements completely within the geometry A fraction equal to the element area within the geometry for elements intersected by the boundary of the geometry
Currently, there are two valid geometries: circle (CIRC) and ellipse (ELPT). For a circle or ellipse, VAL1 and VAL2 are the x and y coordinates of the center, respectively. For a circle, VAL3 is the radius and VAL4 is not used. For an ellipse, VAL3 and VAL4 are the x and y semiaxes, respectively. To display the initial volume fraction loads, use the following: Command(s): /PICE,VFRC,,KEY GUI: Utility Menu> PlotCtrls> Symbols The /PBF and /PSF commands override the /PICE command.
Section 6.3: Input Settings Command(s): SFL,LINE,VFRC,VALI,VALJ,VAL2I,VAL2J SFE,ELEM,LKEY,VFRC,KVAL,VAL1,VAL2,VAL3,VAL4 GUI: Main Menu> Preprocessor> Loads> Define Loads> Apply> Fluid/CFD> Volume Fract> Bound Loads> On Lines Main Menu> Preprocessor> Loads> Define Loads> Apply> Fluid/CFD> Volume Fract> Bound Loads> On Elements Main Menu> Solution> Define Loads> Apply> Fluid/CFD> Volume Fract> Bound Loads> On Lines Main Menu> Solution> Define Loads> Apply> Fluid/CFD> Volume Fract> Bound Loads> On Elements For the SFL command, VALI specifies the boundary VFRC value and (defaults to 1) VAL2I specifies the wetting status (defaults to non-wetting). If Lab = VFRC, a VAL2I setting of 1 indicates a wetted boundary. For the SFE command, VAL1 specifies the boundary VFRC value (defaults to 1) when KVAL = 0 or 1, and VAL1 specifies the boundary wetting status (defaults to non-wetting) when KVAL = 2. If Lab = VFRC and KVAL = 2, a VAL1 setting of 1 indicates a wetted boundary. At a wetted boundary, the fluid upstream keeps the associated elements full.

6.4. Postprocessing
The volume fraction is stored as a non-summable miscellaneous record in the element data section of the results file. If you want to view the volume fraction, issue the command: Command(s): PLESOL,NMISC,1 Since the volume fraction is essentially an element based quantity, it is discontinuous across elements. If you wish to see a smooth and continuous volume fraction, you should first store the results in an element table, using one of the following: Command(s): ETABLE,VFRC,NMISC,1 GUI: Main Menu> General Postproc> Element Table> Define Table You can then plot the results with an averaging operation, using one of the following: Command(s): PLETAB,VFRC,1 GUI: Main Menu> General Postproc> Element Table> Plot Elem Table However, instead of using the foregoing commands, you can use one of the following: Command(s): PLVFRC,CONT GUI: Main Menu> General Postproc> Plot Results> Contour Plot> Element Solu The PLVFRC macro issues the ETABLE and PLETAB commands. When CONT = 0, PLVFRC uses contour levels of 0.5 and 1.0 to indicate the free surface and fluid regions. When CONT = 1, it uses the current contour settings. You can also animate your results. To obtain an animation over a time sequence by interpolation between time steps, use the PLVFRC command macro along with one of the following: Command(s): PLVFRC,CONT ANTIME,NFRAM, DELAY, NCYCL, AUTOCNTRKY, RSLTDAT, MIN, MAX GUI: Utility Menu> PlotCtrls> Animate> Over Time To produce an animation based on the time steps without interpolation, use the PLVFRC command macro along with one of the following: Command(s): PLVFRC,CONT ANDATA,DELAY,NCYCL, RSCLDAT, MIN, MAX, INCR, FRCLST, AUTOCNTRKY GUI: Utility Menu> PlotCtrls> Animate> Over Results Note that if CONT = 0, the animation is based on two contour levels of 0.5 and 1.0. If CONT = 1, the animation is based on AUTOCNTRKY setting.

The time increment, t, is set to 2 x 10-4 ms. The material properties of the droplet are: = 10 9 mg/(m)3 = 10 6 mg/(m)(ms) = 0.073 mg/(ms)2
6.7.2. Results
Figure 6.1: Instantaneous Pressure Distributions at 0.001 ms and Figure 6.2: Instantaneous Pressure Distributions at 0.012 ms show the instantaneous pressure distributions at 0.001 ms and 0.012 ms, respectively. Rather than a pressure jump across the interface, the pressure is observed to vary smoothly in a thin transition region near the interface. Initially, the maximum pressure occurs at the top and bottom portion of the droplet due to a high local curvature. The resulting pressure gradient forces the fluid inward and redirects it to the sides. As the droplet moves, the pressure starts to rise at the sides due to the increasing local curvature. This slows down the movement of the droplet and eventually forces the fluid back inward from the sides. The pressure distribution controls the droplet oscillation by balancing the kinetic energy and the potential energy due to the surface tension. The simulation produces a free surface profile every 5 time steps. The frequency is 42.6 kHz (two cycles occur in 0.047 ms). This agrees quite well with the 43.0 kHz predicted by the Prosperetti formula. The oscillation amplitude 610

Section 6.7: VOF Analysis of an Oscillating Droplet decreases with time and damps out at 0.2 ms due to viscosity. Averaging the pressure values on interior nodes attached to only full elements gives the numerical droplet pressure. The difference between the numerical and the analytical pressure is approximately 1%. There are some noises in the velocity field near the interface due to the so-called parasitic currents inherent in the CSF formulation.

The top plate begins to oscillate about its centerline setting the fluid in motion. The ALE formulation allows the fluid domain to change with time and the finite element mesh to move to satisfy the boundary conditions at the moving plate. Figure 7.2: Torsional Mirror at t = 2.5 Seconds and Figure 7.3: Torsional Mirror at t = 7.5 Seconds show the finite element mesh at later times.

You cannot use a cylindrical coordinate system (KEYOPT(3) = 3) with ALE. You will need to activate KEYOPT(4) to specify boundary motions (displacement DOFs).

The time derivative of the normal displacement must be equal to the normal velocity, dDn/dt = Vn.
Slip or stick boundary conditions can apply for displacement. For velocity, slip boundary conditions apply for inviscid flow and stick boundary conditions apply for viscous flow. In all cases, the time derivative of the normal displacement must be equal to the normal velocity. In FLOTRAN, only stick boundary conditions are currently valid.

Main Menu> Solution> Define Loads> Apply> Fluid/CFD> Displacement (or Velocity)> On Areas If a node is part of a distributed resistance or a fan model or part of a solid region composed of FLUID141 or FLUID142 elements, homogenous displacement boundary conditions are automatically applied (that is, D,ALL,UX,0.0 and D,ALL,UY,0.0 for 2-D and D,ALL,UX,0.0, D,ALL,UY,0.0, and D,ALL,UZ,0.0 for 3-D). You can specify partial displacement boundary conditions to make external nodes move along a global axis. For example, D,ALL,UX,0.0 will make a set of nodes slide along the y-axis in a 2-D model. Currently, normal and tangential components of displacement can not be specified for an external boundary. You can also specify generalized symmetry boundary conditions. If the ALE formulation is activated, velocity components are then set equal to the mesh velocity. To do so, use one of the following commands or the GUI equivalent: D,NODE,ENDS,-1 DL,LINE,AREA,ENDS,-1,Value2 DA,AREA,ENDS,-1,Value2
You can not check for morphing failure in advance if the time step size depends on the fluid flow variables or the problem involves a free surface. Mesh morphing is currently available for the following element shapes: Pure quadrilaterals, pure triangles, or a combination for FLUID141 Pure hexahedrals, pure tetrahedrals, pure pyramids, pure wedges, or any combination for FLUID142
Sometimes mesh morphing produces poor quality elements (for example, when a fluid domain is extremely squeezed by a moving wall). The birth and death feature can then be useful. To implement this feature, you assign a birth/death tolerance to the candidate elements using the real constant BDTOL. A node is automatically deactivated if the distance from it to the center of any element face on the wall becomes less than the assigned BDTOL. A element is deactivated if all of its nodes are deactivated. Conversely, a node is reactivated if the distance

Chapter 7: Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) Formulation for Moving Domains from it to the center of the closest element face on the wall becomes greater than or equal to the assigned BDTOL. A element is reactivated if all of its nodes are reactivated.
7.4. Remeshing
Large fluid domain changes can produce poor quality elements and mesh morphing failure. To avoid element failure, you must remesh. To accomplish remeshing, issue one of the following: Command(s): FLDATA39,REMESH GUI: Main Menu> Preprocessor> FLOTRAN Set Up> Remesh Ctrl FLDATA39,REMESH will automatically remesh the fluid elements and linearly interpolate the nodal solution from the old mesh to the new mesh. Use it to specify one of the following three ways of remeshing: Remesh all defined fluid elements if the quality of the worst defined element falls below any specified quality requirement listed in Table 7.2: Element Qualities. Whole domain remeshing is suitable when the moving boundary affects all of the fluid elements (all the fluid elements may become distorted during solution). Remesh defined fluid elements that have a quality below any specified quality requirement. Partial domain remeshing is suitable when the distorted elements are locally distributed and the location of the distorted elements is not known before solution or it changes during solution. Remesh all grouped fluid elements with a specified component name if the quality of the worst selected element falls below any specified quality requirement. Selected component remeshing is suitable when the distorted elements are locally distributed, but the location of the distorted elements is known before solution and it does not change during solution. There are three maximum allowable element qualities that you need to specify for remeshing: aspect ratio, change of element size, and change of element aspect ratio.
where: lavg = average length of the element edges A = element area V = element volume A(t) and V(t) = element area and volume at time t A(0) and V(0) = element area and volume at time 0 You may also specify the following remeshing inputs: Elements Excluded
76
ANSYS Fluids Analysis Guide . ANSYS Release 9.0 . 002114 . SAS IP, Inc.
Section 7.5: Postprocessing You can exclude all elements connected to boundary nodes from remeshing. For a fluid-structure interaction analysis, you can exclude the elements connected to fluid-solid interfaces. Element Size The element remeshing size defaults to 0. The element size at the nearest boundary is then used for remeshing. Area Expansion or Contraction You can size internal elements so that they are approximately the size of the boundary elements times an expansion or contraction factor. Checkpoints You can specify element quality checkpoints in three ways: every time step, every Nth time step, or at a single time point. The fluid elements will automatically remesh if any quality requirement is not met at a checkpoint. After each remesh, new databases and results files are written with the extensions .rfl0n and .dbn, where n is the remesh file number (Jobname.rfl01, Jobname.rfl02, ... and Jobname.db01, Jobname.db02,...). Use the ANMRES command to create an animation across the results files. Note The original database file is Jobname.db0. The Jobname.db01, Jobname.db02, ... files have elements that are detached from the solid model. You can use the FLOTRAN remeshing capability in a pure fluid flow analysis or a fluid-solid interaction analysis. For information on fluid-solid interaction analyses, see Chapter 3, Fluid-Solid Interaction Solver and Chapter 4, ANSYS Multi-field (TM) Solver in the ANSYS Coupled-Field Analysis Guide. Some important remeshing limitations are listed in the following table.
7.5. Postprocessing
For postprocessing, you can use the following contour and vector command sequence for the reference domain or the current deformed domain:
ANSYS Fluids Analysis Guide . ANSYS Release 9.0 . 002114 . SAS IP, Inc.
77
To produce an animated sequence of the results, issue the ANTIME macro with the above commands. Note The displacements of non-structural elements are mesh (or grid) displacements to avoid mesh distortion but have no physical meaning except at the interface between the fluid and the structure.

Section 7.6: ALE Analysis of a Simplified Torsional Mirror The position of any point on the plate is given by: x(t) = xo + Rcos y(t) = yo + Rsin where: R = xr x o and xr is the x coordinate on the plate at time equals zero. Therefore, the displacements of the plate are given by: UX(t) = x(t) x(o) = x x UY(t) = y(t) y(o) = y y
r o
Substituting the expressions for x and y gives: UX = R(cos 1) UY = Rsin Note As approaches 0, UX approaches 0 and UY approaches R. Differentiating displacements gives the following velocity equations: UX = UX = R sin VY = UY = R cos Note As approaches 0, VX approaches R o2 and VY approaches R o. Therefore, VX approaches 0 faster than VY. The command listing in Section 7.6.4: Building and Solving the Model (Command Method) uses the above expressions for UX, UY, VX, and VY in the boundary condition tables.

Assuming the flow is 2-D and neglecting inertia terms, the Navier-Stokes equation reduces to the Reynolds equation for incompressible flow:

where: h = h (x,t) is the gap height and U and V are the velocity components of the moving plate. Assuming that the angular displacement of the mirror is small gives: U 0 V R R x Substituting these values in the Reynolds equation and assuming that U variations with x are small gives:

Another difference between these types of analysis is that for compressible analyses, initial properties are calculated from the calculated static temperature, not from the nominal temperature.

(a) Quadrilateral mesh, (b) Triangular mesh with a random pattern, (c) Triangular mesh with a symmetrical pattern In 2-D compressible analyses, mesh (a), the quadrilateral mesh, produces the most accurate results. Mesh (b) yields 2-D, not 1-D results, and mesh (c) yields 1-D results. Similarly, in a 3-D compressible analysis, a hexagonal mesh (the equivalent of quadrilateral mesh in 2-D) produces the best results. A tetrahedral mesh with a random pattern (the 3-D equivalent of mesh (b)) yields only 3-D results, not 1-D. And a tetrahedral symmetric mesh, the 3-D equivalent of mesh (c), gives you 1-D results.

Chapter 8: FLOTRAN Compressible Analyses multiple of the laminar value. Generally, a value 3 or 4 orders of magnitude higher than the laminar viscosity is a good approximate starting point. In a compressible problem, the final answer would be a function of the artificial viscosity if it were not removed. Therefore, after stability has been achieved, gradually remove the artificial viscosity during repeated analysis continuations.

Section 8.7: Doing the Example Compressible Flow Analysis (GUI Method) The analysis starts with 20 iterations at an artificial viscosity of 10. It then continues for 20 iterations at artificial viscosity values of 1, .1, .01, .001, .0001, and .00001 to give a total of 140 iterations. The analysis then continues for another 160 iterations at an artificial viscosity of 0. After 300 iterations of slowly reducing the viscosity to 0, the analysis continues for 100 iterations with increased momentum and pressure inertial relaxation factors. Finally, the analysis converges to a final solution with the momentum and pressure inertial relaxation factors increased to higher values for 400 iterations.

Except for incompressible flow analyses including viscous heating, you can use any energy unit as long as you use the same unit for all thermal quantities. The metric and English property types defined below use joules and BTUs, respectively, as the energy unit for thermal conductivity and specific heat. For an incompressible analysis including viscous heating, you must use the energy unit for the system as shown in the following table:
Table 9.2 Energy Units for Incompressible Analyses with Viscous Heating

The valid labels used by the *DIM command are shown in parentheses. If you need to specify a variable other than one of the primary variables listed, you can do so by defining an independent variable. To specify an independent variable, define an additional table for the independent variable. That table must have the same name as the independent variable and can be a function of either a primary variable or another independent variable.

Once you choose property types, you do not need to specify any coefficients for the properties. If the characters _B are added to these property types (as in the AIR types listed above), the pressure in the ideal gas law calculation is at a constant density corresponding to atmospheric pressure. The length and time units of conductivity and specific heat must be consistent with the rest of the properties. The energy units in these quantities are unrestricted. If using property types CONSTANT, GAS, or LIQUID, you must specify property coefficients. To do so, either issue the commands shown below or choose one of the following menu paths: Command(s): FLDATA8,NOMI,Label,Value FLDATA9,COF1,Label,Value FLDATA10,COF2,Label,Value FLDATA11,COF3,Label,Value GUI: Main Menu> Preprocessor> FLOTRAN Set Up> Fluid Properties Main Menu> Solution> FLOTRAN Set Up> Fluid Properties If you use the commands, you enter the property in the Label field of each command and enter the value itself in each command's Value field. The format of the equations for GAS and LIQUID input is oriented towards calculating constants based on chosen data points. All cases take COF1 to be the absolute temperature at which the chosen property has the value set by NOMI. (Section 9.5: Using Reference Properties discusses the use of relative temperatures and an offset temperature to calculate absolute temperatures.) This is not used in the COF1 specification; COF1 should always be an absolute temperature. Once values are inserted into the relationships below for NOMI and COF1, the values of COF2 and COF3, if necessary, follow from knowledge of one or two additional data points, respectively. When calculating COF2 and COF3 for GAS and LIQUID property types, you must use absolute temperatures and pressures in these relationships. If COF1 is set to zero, the property will become constant at the value set by NOMI. For GAS and LIQUID property types, the specific heat is constant and therefore the parameters COF1, COF2 and COF3 are not needed. For viscosity types Power Law, Bingham, and Carreau, NOMI, COF1, COF2, and COF3 have different interpretations. This is discussed in the ANSYS, Inc. Theory Reference and in Section 9.2.8: Viscosity.
9.2.7. Density
If the property type choice is CONSTANT, then set the constant value of the property using the FLDATA8,NOMI command or the equivalent menu path. For example, you set the density to 1.205 via: Command(s): FLDATA8,NOMI,DENS,1.205 If the property type is GAS, the ideal gas law is used for the density. You specify density for this choice as: Density = NOMI * (P/COF2) / (T/COF1) If the choice is LIQUID, then a second order polynomial as a function of temperature is used for density.

Chapter 9: Specifying Fluid Properties for FLOTRAN Density = NOMI + COF2*(T - COF1) + COF3*(T - COF1)2 If the property type is CMIX, then: Density = Yi i
i =1 N
In the equation shown above, N is the defined number of species, Yi is the mass fraction of the ith species, and i is the density of the ith species. If the property is CGAS, then: Density =
P RT ( Yi /Mi )
i N
In the CGAS equation shown above, N is the defined number of species, Yi is the mass fraction of the ith species, Mi is the molecular weight of the ith species, R is the universal gas constant, and P is the absolute pressure. If the property type is TABLE, the density is interpolated linearly between the data points provided via the MPTEMP or MPDATA commands (or their GUI equivalents). If the choice is USER, the density is computed in the user-programmable subroutine UserDens. The four coefficients NOMI, COF1, COF2, and COF3 are available in this routine.
9.2.8. Viscosity
If the property type choice is CONSTANT, then set the constant value of the property using the FLDATA8,NOMI command or the equivalent menu path. For example, you set the viscosity to 1.205 via: Command(s): FLDATA8,NOMI,VISC,1.205 If the choice is GAS, Sutherland's law for gases is used for viscosity. You can enter the parameters NOMI, COF1, and COF2. The ideal gas constant R is defined as (COF2/NOMI*COF1) Viscosity ("Property"): Property/NOMI = (T/COF1)1.5 * (COF1 + COF2)/(T + COF2) As an example of using this relationship, suppose that there are two data points available for the calculation of viscosity as a function of temperature: Viscosity = 4.18 x 10-5 at T = 760 Viscosity = 5.76 x 10-5 at T = 1010 Consider the first data point as the nominal value. This means that NOMI = 4.18 x 10-5 and COF1 = 760. Using these in the Sutherland relationship yields: Property/4.18 x 10-5 = (T/760)1.5 (760 + COF2)/(T + COF2) 96
ANSYS Fluids Analysis Guide . ANSYS Release 9.0 . 002114 . SAS IP, Inc.
Section 9.2: Fluid Property Types Use the remaining data point to calculate COF2 by setting "Property" to 5.76 x 10-5 and T = 1010. Thus, the constants are calculated from the data points. If the choice is LIQUID, then Sutherland's liquid law is used for the viscosity. Viscosity ("Property"): Property/NOMI = EXP{COF2*(1/T - 1/COF1) + COF3(1/T - 1/COF1)2} If the choice is POWL, then the non-Newtonian Power Law model is used for the viscosity:
(COF3-1) NOMI*COF2*D Viscosity = (COF3-1) NOMI*COF2*COF1
,D>COF1 ,D COF1
If the choice is BING, then the non-Newtonian Bingham model is used for the viscosity: COF1 NOMI+ D Viscosity = COF2 ,D ,D< COF1 COF2 NOMI COF1 COV2 -NOMI
If the choice is CARR, the non-Newtonian Carreau model is used for the viscosity:
COF3-1 2 Viscosity =COF1+(NOMI- COF1)*(1+(COF2*D) ) 2
In the equation shown above, N is the defined number of species, Yi is the mass fraction of the ith species, and i is the viscosity of the ith species. If the property type is TABLE, the density is interpolated linearly between the data points provided via the MPTEMP or MPDATA commands (or their GUI equivalents). If the choice is USRV or USER, then the viscosity is computed in the user programmable subroutine UserVisLaw. The four coefficients NOMI, COF1, COF2, and COF3 are available in this routine.

Section 9.7: Using User-Programmable Subroutines If you wish to use the user-programmable viscosity subroutine, USERVISLAW, you will need to customize it for the particular model you are analyzing. You compile the subroutine, link it with the ANSYS libraries, and make an executable copy available. Then, you can resume the model to be analyzed and activate the viscosity model you have defined. To do so, use one of the following: Command(s): FLDATA7,PROT,VISC,USRV (or USER) GUI: Main Menu> Preprocessor> FLOTRAN Set Up> Fluid Properties Main Menu> Solution> FLOTRAN Set Up> Fluid Properties At this point, you may want to specify that properties are updated every iteration and that you want viscosity output to go to the results file. To do so, issue the following commands or use the following menu paths: Command(s): FLDATA12,PROP,UFRQ,1 and FLDATA5,OUTP,VISC,T GUI: Main Menu> Preprocessor> FLOTRAN Set Up> Fluid Properties Main Menu> Solution> FLOTRAN Set Up> Fluid Properties Next, you need to specify the four coefficients associated with the user-defined viscosity model. To do so, use either of the menu paths shown above or issue the following commands: Command(s): FLDATA7,NOMI,VISC,Value (specifies coefficient 1) FLDATA6,COF1,VISC,Value (specifies coefficient 2) FLDATA9,COF2,VISC,Value (specifies coefficient 3) FLDATA10,COF3,VISC,Value (specifies coefficient 4) These coefficients are available within the UserVisLaw subroutine. By default, this subroutine produces a Power Law viscosity model using the coefficients you define. To see a copy of the subroutine, see the Guide to ANSYS User Programmable Features. You can also specify an initial viscosity to accelerate convergence, via one of the following: Command(s): FLDATA12,PROP,IVISC,Value GUI: Main Menu> Preprocessor> FLOTRAN Set Up> Fluid Properties Main Menu> Preprocessor> FLOTRAN Set Up> Fluid Properties Once you have specified the coefficients, and, optionally, an initial viscosity, you can solve your model by issuing the SOLVE command or choosing Main Menu> Solution> Run FLOTRAN.

Chapter 10: FLOTRAN Special Features For axisymmetric problems, the sign convention for the swirl (VZ) component conforms to positive rotation about the axis of symmetry, as defined by the right hand rule. Thus, for a model that is axisymmetric about the Y axis, a nonnegative swirl velocity VZ is considered to be pointing "into the page." Similarly, for a model that is axisymmetric about the X axis, a nonnegative swirl velocity VZ is considered to be pointing "out of the page." This should be accounted for when you apply boundary conditions in rotating coordinates. Note Based on the definition of directions for the cylindrical coordinate system, gravity is only appropriate for the Z direction when KEYOPT(3) is set to 3.

103
Chapter 10: FLOTRAN Special Features Command(s): FLDATA1,SOLU,SWIRL,TRUE GUI: Main Menu> Preprocessor> FLOTRAN Set Up> Solution Options Main Menu> Solution> FLOTRAN Set Up> Solution Options Either a moving wall (for instance, a rotating shaft) or a component of swirl at an inlet can cause the motion in the swirl direction (with velocity component VZ). In a swirl problem, there are no changes in the "theta" direction since it is axisymmetric. The swirl component is calculated through solution of the momentum equation in the swirl direction. With no pressure gradient in the swirl direction, nothing contributes to the swirl velocity directly from the velocity update step in the segregated solution algorithm. It is thus sometimes useful to accelerate the convergence of swirl problems by solving the momentum in the swirl direction equation with a relaxation factor of 1.0 for a few global iterations.

Section 10.4: Distributed Resistance/Source In the above equation, V is the velocity through the fan. If the given data is in terms of volumetric flow, you must know the area of the actual pump. The actual velocity at the outlet of the pump as well as the volumetric flow rate should be preserved. Consistent units must be used, that is, the gravitational conversion constant must be 1.0. If, for example, the pressure drop is in psi, the velocity units are in/sec. Generally, you determine the fan or pump coefficients by taking three pairs of pressure-velocity points on the "fan curve" and solving for the coefficients. If the flow is to be in the negative direction, the signs of all the coefficients change. The type 5 model is used for pumps not aligned with one of the coordinate directions. Given V as the velocity in the S arbitrary direction and the pump constants C1, C2, and C3; the directional coefficients can be calculated. If x is the angle between the arbitrary direction S and the x coordinate direction, the directional constants are:
Similarly, if y and z are defined as the angles between the fan direction and the y and z coordinate direction respectively:

Sparse Direct solver This solver uses Gaussian elimination to factorize the matrix and then uses backward/forward substitution to solve for the unknowns.
You choose the method for each DOF via one of the following: Command(s): FLDATA18,METH,Label,Value (Label = DOF) GUI: Main Menu> Preprocessor> FLOTRAN Set Up> CFD Solver Controls> PRES Solver CFD Main Menu> Solution> FLOTRAN Set Up> CFD Solver Controls> PRES Solver CFD Valid choices are: 1 (TDMA), 2 (conjugate residual), 3 (preconditioned conjugate residual or gradient), 4 (preconditioned generalized minimum residual), 5 (sparse direct), or 6 (preconditioned BiCGStab). A choice of 0 indicates that the equation set is not to be solved. The preconditioned conjugate gradient method automatically applies to the incompressible pressure equation for choices 2 or 3. The default solver (TDMA) for the velocities and the turbulence equations is adequate for virtually every problem encountered. The number of sweeps (iterations) for the velocity is 1. Do not change this value. Experience has shown that the default number of 10 sweeps for the turbulence equations is most efficient although you can increase this number to see if better convergence is attained for a particular application. In general, the solution of the pressure equation must be accurate and conjugate direction methods are used. However, the TDMA method can be successful for natural convection flows. The sections for the various types of analyses discuss where to use solvers other than the default choices.

Section 11.3: Semi-Direct Solvers You can resolve a stall situation by increasing the number of search directions or using inertial relaxation. To increase search directions, either use one of the menu paths described above (with the FLDATA23,DELT command), or issue the following command: Command(s): FLDATA20,SRCH,Label,Value The default value is 2, appropriate for well conditioned problems. The number of search directions required may vary widely among problems. Values of 20 may be required, but be aware that each search direction specified requires N compute storage locations in memory. (N is the number of finite element nodes in the problem). The computer storage required for large values of SRCH could exceed the computational resources available, in which case inertial relaxation should be used. Figure 11.1: Typical Debug Files shows typical debug files.

Chapter 11: FLOTRAN CFD Solvers and the Matrix Equation To specify the amount of fill-in, use either of these methods: Command(s): FLDATA20A,PGMR,Label,Value GUI: Main Menu> Preprocessor> FLOTRAN Set Up> CFD Solver Controls> desired DOF solver Main Menu> Solution> FLOTRAN Set Up> CFD Solver Controls> desired DOF solver The allowable range for fill-in is 1 to 10. The default value is 6. A single fill-in value is input for all applicable DOF. For some problems, it is unnecessary to obtain an exact solution to the energy equation every global iteration. To save some time, you can then employ the foregoing command with a Label of MODP. You use it to specify a number of global iterations performed using the TDMA method between global iterations performed using the PGMR method for the temperature DOF. The number of search directions required may vary widely among problems. If large values of SRCH result in the required computer storage exceeding the computational resources, inertial relaxation should be used. To specify the number of search vectors, use either of these methods: Command(s): FLDATA20,SRCH,Label,Value GUI: Main Menu> Preprocessor> FLOTRAN Set Up> CFD Solver Controls> desired DOF solver Main Menu> Solution> FLOTRAN Set Up> CFD Solver Controls> desired DOF solver For the PGMR solver, the allowable range of search vectors is 12 to 20. The default value is 12. The PGMR method is not recommended for velocity DOF. The output associated with the solver is recorded in the Jobname.OUT file for non-FLOTRAN analyses. The FLOTRAN iterative solver output is recorded in the jobname.dbg file. The fact that the PGMR solver is being used is indicated in the Jobname.DBG file. The file shows if convergence is reached, the maximum number of iterations is reached without convergence, or the solution is stalled. The PGMR method output is in the same form as that provided in the jobname.out file for non-FLOTRAN analyses. The NORM referred to in the Jobname.OUT file is the square root of the convergence criterion specified in the FLOTRAN input. For example, a EQSLV command solver tolerance value of 1.E-5 corresponds to the FLOTRAN default convergence criterion value of 1.E-10. The PGMR method can fail for the following reasons: The problem is ill-conditioned. The problem is improperly formulated. The specified convergence criterion is too tight. An insufficient number of iterations is specified.
If the PGMR method stalls, it may be because the problem is ill-conditioned or improperly formulated. If the problem is ill-conditioned, you can control several parameters to enhance performance. You can increase the amount of fill-in or the number of search vectors. You can also use inertial relaxation. If the problem is improperly formulated, there may be an input error or the boundary conditions may be applied incorrectly. You need to check the input parameters and boundary conditions to ensure that they are accurate. FLOTRAN does not allow a convergence criterion less restrictive than the default value. You can enter a higher value, but FLOTRAN issues a warning message and changes it to the default value. If the maximum number of iterations has been reached without convergence, it may mean more iterations are required. This could be the case if you see that the Norm has been lowered, but it is not quite to the target. If so, you can try increasing the maximum number of iterations. 114

Section 11.4: Sparse Direct Method If the PGMR method converges and the results are questionable, reduce the convergence criterion below the default value of 1.E-10. A convergence criterion as low as 1.E-20 may be necessary for some problems.

12.2.2. Solver
For the SIMPLEF algorithm, the TDMA solver is the default for the momentum and turbulence equations. None of the other solvers will improve the overall rate of convergence. Even when exact solutions are obtained on those individual equations, the overall rate of convergence will not improve. This is due to weak coupling between the pressure and momentum equations. For the SIMPLEN algorithm, the overall rate of convergence can be improved considerably when more exact solutions are obtained for each individual equation. Therefore, when SIMPLEN is activated, FLOTRAN automatically resets the solver option to the preconditioned BiCGStab method (PBCGM) for the momentum, turbulence and energy equations. Furthermore, it will reset the fill-in parameter for PBCGM to zero for computational efficiency.
12.3. Performance
Table 12.2: SIMPLEF and SIMPLEN Performance Results presents results for laminar flow in a 2-D square cavity. The Reynolds number is 100 based on the length of the cavity side and the velocity at the top. The uniform grid consists of 322 = 1024 elements.
For the SIMPLEN algorithm , the total number of global iterations and the computational time decrease as the relaxation factor (RELX) increases from 0.8 to 0.95. As RELX increases above 0.95, the iteration number and computational time increase. The optimal RELX value is 0.95. At this value, the SIMPLEN convergence rate is about 4 times faster than SIMPLEF. The SIMPLEN computational time is about 1/4 of the SIMPLEF computational time. Results for a finer mesh of 1282 = 16,384 elements show an even better SIMPLEN performance. At an optimal RELX value of 0.99, the SIMPLEN computational time is about 1/40 of the SIMPLEF computational time. SIMPLEN significantly improves the rate of convergence if pressure-velocity coupling dominates the convergence. If other factors affect the overall rate of convergence, SIMPLEN will not increase the rate of convergence as significantly. However, for those problems, SIMPLEN will generally be more robust than SIMPLEF, and it will usually give a better convergence behavior. For more comparisons, see Wang G., "A fast and robust variant of the SIMPLE

Chapter 13: Multiple Species Transport For all analyses, you must enter the mass diffusion coefficient data for each species. For a dilute mixture, the density is the only other relevant property because the bulk or main fluid properties govern the solution of the momentum equation. For the CMIX and CGAS options, you need to specify density and viscosity using MSPROP or an equivalent menu path. Also specify conductivity if the energy equation is to be solved. The form of the diffusion term is:
(Dmi Y i)
The value Dmi is the diffusion coefficient, and Yi is the mass fraction being solved. Sometimes, the available data is expressed as a Schmidt number. The following equality enables expression of the diffusion portion of transport in terms of laminar viscosity , the density , and the Schmidt number:
Dmi Y i =
Y i SCi
Note The input must be in terms of the mass diffusion coefficient, not the Schmidt number. The Schmidt number relating the diffusion coefficient to the density and viscosity differs from the turbulent Schmidt number discussed below. In addition, the flow field may be turbulent. Another representation of the diffusion term, this time including the effect of the turbulent viscosity , is:
+ t Y i SCi SCTi
The quantity SCTi is the turbulent Schmidt number, which you specify via one of the following: Command(s): MSSPEC GUI: Main Menu> Preprocessor> FLOTRAN Set Up> Multiple Species The normal default value of 1.0 is sufficient unless you want to regulate explicitly the effect of turbulence on the transport.

[R] is a "coupling" matrix that represents the effective surface area associated with each node on the fluidstructure interface (FSI). The coupling matrix [R] also takes into account the direction of the normal vector defined for each pair of coincident fluid and structural element faces that comprises the interface surface. The positive direction of the normal vector, as the ANSYS program uses it, is defined to be outward from the fluid mesh and in towards the structure. Both the structural and fluid load quantities that are produced at the fluid-structure interface are functions of unknown nodal degrees of freedom. Placing these unknown "load" quantities on the left hand side of the equations and combining the two equations into a single equation produces the following:

The FLUID138 element is used to model the pressure drop through holes in a moving structure. Microstructures are commonly perforated to reduce the damping effects of the fluid layer. FLUID138 elements are used in conjunction with FLUID136 elements to obtain a consistent pressure distribution, including the effects of holes.
A squeeze film analysis can be performed on structures with known velocities or unknown velocities. If the velocity profile is known, you can apply it directly to the fluid elements. If the velocity profile is not known (or is too complicated), it can be determined from the mode-frequency response of the structure (model projection method). This section deals with directly applying the velocities. Section 16.3: Modal Projection Method for Squeeze Film Analysis covers the modal projection method.

ANSYS Fluids Analysis Guide . ANSYS Release 9.0 . 002114 . SAS IP, Inc.
Section 16.2: Squeeze Film Analysis F is the total pressure force at the fluid structure interface and vz is the normal velocity component of the moving structure. A typical pressure distribution on a rectangular plate is shown in Figure 16.3: Pressure Distribution on a Plate at a Low Driving Frequency.
FRe is the real component of the pressure force. FIm is the imaginary component of the pressure force. Omega () is the frequency (rad/sec). The damping and stiffness coefficients are frequency-dependent. Figure 16.4: Damping and Squeeze Stiffness Coefficients vs. Frequency illustrates the frequency dependency for a typical microsystem application.
The DMPEXT command is used to extract frequency-dependent damping parameters for use with the MDAMP, DMPRAT, ALPHAD, and BETAD command inputs.

Section 16.3: Modal Projection Method for Squeeze Film Analysis From the modal squeeze and stiffness coefficients for the main diagonal terms (source mode = target mode), other useful damping parameters can be calculated. For example, the modal damping ratio, , and the modal squeeze to stiffness ratio, kri, can be computed by: i = Cii /(2imi ) kri = K ii / i2
Where mi is the modal mass and i the eigenfrequency. The damping ratio can be used to compute ALPHAD and BETAD parameters for Rayleigh damping (see ABEXTRACT command), or to specify constant and modal damping by means of the DMPRAT or MDAMP commands. The squeeze to stiffness ratio represents the relative stiffening of the mechanical system due to fluid compression and resonance shift. If the squeeze-to-stiffness ratio is small (e.g., <.02), then the squeeze stiffness affects the structural stiffness by less than 2%, which may be negligible. At higher frequencies, the ratio can be much larger, indicating a significant stiffening of the structure. The stiffness and damping coefficients may be strongly frequency-dependent. Figure 16.9: Damping and Squeeze Stiffness Parameters for a Rectangular Plate shows a typical frequency dependency of the squeeze and damping forces on a flat plate, and the resulting stiffness and damping constant. The frequency where the forces intersect is known as the cut-off frequency. Below this frequency, structures may be accurately characterized by a constant damping coefficient, and stiffness effects can be ignored. Structures which operate far above the cut-off can be described by a constant stiffness coefficient, and damping effects can be ignored.

16.3.2. Steps in Computing the Damping Parameter Using the Modal Projection Technique
The basic steps in performing the analysis are as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Build a structural and thin-film fluid model and mesh. Perform a modal analysis on the structure. Extract the desired mode eigenvectors. Select the desired modes for damping parameter calculations. Perform a harmonic analysis on the thin-film elements. Compute the modal squeeze stiffness and damping parameters. Compute modal damping ratio and squeeze stiffness coefficient. Display the results.

Chapter 16: Thin Film Analysis Steps 4-7 have been automated using the DMPEXT command macro. Step 8 is available through the MDPLOT command macro.
The expanded eigenmodes will compute the necessary eigenvectors required for the modal projection technique. Note: The thin-film fluid elements may be left active in the model when performing the modal analysis. These elements will not contribute to the modal solution.

Damping parameter extraction can be selected over a desired frequency range or at the eigenfrequencies of the structure. Damping results are computed and stored in an array parameter. Computed damping ratios may be used in subsequent dynamic structural analyses. A constant damping ratio can be applied using DMPRAT for a subsequent harmonic or mode-superposition transient analysis. Mode damping ratios may be applied using the MDAMP command for use in mode-superposition harmonic and transient analyses. Note: Subsequent structural analysis using these damping parameters do not require the thin-film fluid elements in the model. The command macro ABEXTRACT (like DMPEXT) extracts alpha and beta damping parameters for use in the ALPHAD and BETAD commands. These commands define Rayleigh damping and can be used in time-transient structural analysis to model damping effects. The damping parameters are computed from two modes defined by the user. The command macro MDPLOT may be used to display the frequency-dependent damping parameters.

A transient dynamic analysis on the switch can be performed using the extracted damping parameters. The following input illustrates a coupled electrostatic-structural time-transient solution. The electrostatic field is assumed to be normal to the plate in the gap, and fringing effects are ignored. TRANS126 elements are used to model the coupled electrostatic-structural interaction with the switch. The EMTGEN command is used to generate the transducer elements. A step voltage pulse is applied over a short duration (65 micro-seconds) then released. Rayleigh damping parameters, when used, are applied to the global mass (ALPHAD parameter) and stiffness (BETAD parameter) matrices. We want to apply these only to the mass and stiffness matrix of the SOLID45 elements, and not the TRANS126 elements, because doing so may overdamp the system. The TRANS126 elements produce a damping matrix and a stiffness matrix only. Hence, we can use the ALPHAD parameter for the global mass matrix since there is no contribution from the TRANS126 elements. To isolate the SOLID45 elements for beta damping, we can apply the beta damping via a material damping option (MP,DAMP). Figure 16.11: Time-Transient Response from Voltage Pulse illustrates the displacement of a node near the center of the plate over time. The maximum amplitude of displacement (0.11 microns) is small enough to ignore large deflection damping effects.

FLUID139 models the effect of viscous flow in the thin film with a series of mass-damper elements, as shown in Figure 16.13: Viscous Slide Film Element FLUID139. Couette flow is modeled using a two-node option. Stokes flow is modeled using a 32-node option. In the 32-node option, the end nodes (node 1 and 32) are connected to the structural portion of the model with structural degrees of freedom, and the series of mass-damper elements are contained within "auxiliary" nodes (nodes 2-31). The gap separation distance (GAP) and the overlap area of the surfaces (AREA) are specified as real constants for FLUID139. If the overlap area changes during the analysis, the area change rate (DADU) must also be specified as a real constant. A changing overlap area is typical in lateral comb drives. dA (un ui ) A new = A initial + du AREA is the initial overlap area, DADU is the change in the overlap area with respect to the surface displacement, and un and ui are the location of the interface nodes (1 and 32). Note: For a constant surface area, DADU is the width of the overlap surface. FLUID139 may be used for a prestress static analysis in conjunction with a prestress harmonic analysis, as well as a full transient analysis. Prestress analysis is required if the plate area changes due to the structural displacement. A typical command sequence for a prestress harmonic analysis would include the following:

KEYOPT(3) specifies the continuous flow options. For a no-slip assumption at the wall, use the continuum theory (KEYOPT(3) = 0). For slip flow where the Knudsen number is much less or much greater than 1.0, use the first order slip flow condition (KEYOPT(3) = 1). For slip flow with a Knudsen number of approximately 1.0, use the extended slip flow option (KEYOPT(3) = 2).

Details on the comb drive geometry are given in the input file listed below. The electrostatic behavior of the moving comb drives are represented by two TRANS126 transducer elements with prescribed Stroke vs. Capacitance data obtained from finite element runs. The structural behavior of the crab legs is modeled by a spring element. The inertial effects of the central mass are modeled with a mass element. Damping occurs between the comb teeth (lateral dimension), and between the comb teeth and the substrate (vertical dimension). Four FLUID139 elements are used to model the lateral and vertical damping (two per comb drive). The cut-off frequency is well below the frequency range for the analysis; therefore, Couette flow is assumed. Since the comb drive effective surface area changes with displacement, the DADU real constant is used (equal to the width of the plate area). A static prestress analysis is run using a DC bias voltage on the input and output fixed comb drives. A harmonic analysis sweep is then performed using a small AC voltage. The displacement (magnitude and phase angle) of the central mass is shown in Figure 16.15: Displacement of Central Mass. Figure 16.16: Real and Imaginary Current shows the current.
