 SOFTWARES REQUIRED:
 Java Foil
 Gambit
 Fluent
 MAIN STEPS:
 Geometry & Model
 Meshing
 Boundary Condition
 Preprocessing in fluent
 Fluent Solution
 Post Processing in fluent (or) Result

 PROCEDURE:

 GEOMETRY & MODEL:

Go to JAVAFOIL – select CAMBERED-select any desired aerofoil.

 Copy the coordinates into a excel sheet.

 Add a column of zeroes to z axis.

 Copy those datas to text document and align them.

 Now go to gambit – file – import – vertex data – the coordinates will be imported.

 Select edge – join the points using nubs.

 Select copy-create a domain-3 faces subtract-split the faces.

 Select faces – face the given aerofoil.

 Create domain – subtract the faces – split the faces – keep in shaded mode.

MESHING:

 Meshing is the process of making grid points [nodes] on the Geometry Model.
 Spliting of solid Geometry model with noded elements.
 For meshing we need to split the outer surfaces of the aerofoil.
 Form coordinates such that they are splitted equally and tightly near walls.
 Using edge and face mesh – mesh the three aerofoils exteriorly.
BOUNDARY CONDITION:

 Choose boundary conditions option and apply the boundary conditions as shown below.
 After applying boundary conditions – save the file – file – export – mesh – name – 2D –
SAVE – close.

PRE PROCESSING:

ANALYSIS:

 Search – fluent 6.236 – 2d dp – run.

 File – read – case.
 Grid – check.
 Define – models – solver – compressible – density based – steady, absolute.
 Define – models – enable energy equation ON.
 Define – models – viscous – invicid – ok.
 Define – materials –air – ideal gas – Sutherland – change/create – close.
 Define – operating conditions – ok.
 Define – boundary conditions – pressure inlet – pressure far field – set – 101325 for mach 2 –
ok.
 Solve – controls – solution – ok.
 Solve – initialize - compute from – pressure inlet.
 Initialize – apply –close.
 Solve – monitors – residual – print, plot – ok.
 Solve – iterate – give the number of iterations say 1000.The process of iterations starts.
 POST PROCESSING is carried out
RESULT:

Thus the study of hot supersonic flow over a axial flow turbine blade passage has been drawn in
GAMBIT and its flow process is analysed in fluent.

The out coming results are plotted in graphs and the images are obtained.
