1 MSc TPFE/4th Year Mechanical and Aerospace Advanced CFD Laboratory Laminar Flow in tube bundles using Star CCM+ 1 Introduction Flows through tubes bundles are encountered in many heat exchanger applications. One example is in nuclear power plants where the nuclear fuel rods are cooled by passing cold water over them, but similar arrangements are also employed in more conventional exchangers. The objective of this type of heat exchanger is, of course, to extract as much heat as possible from the tubes. In a computational study, in order to calculate the heat transfer reliably, it is necessary to resolve the flow around the tubes correctly. A typical staggered tube bundle configuration, which is to be studied in this exercise, can be seen in Figure 1. It is assumed to consist of a large number of tubes, so the flow around any one is considered to be identical to that around the others. The computational domain employed is highlighted, which takes advantage of some of the symmetries present in the flow. Symmetry conditions are applied on the top and bottom boundaries, whilst periodic conditions (with a prescribed pressure drop) are applied between the east and west boundaries. Figure 1: Flow geometry The flow is to be computed as laminar, and three meshes are provided. The first one consists of block structured quadrilateral cells with a resolution of 540 cells in total 1
2 Laminar flow in tube bundles 2 with 72 points around one cylinder. The second mesh is an unstructured mesh made of quadrilateral cells (PAVE). The total number of cells is 433 with 64 points around one cylinder. The third mesh (TETRA) is made of triagular elements, with a total number of 490 cells with 64 points around one cylinder. The meshes can be seen in Figure 2. Figure 2: Three types of meshes The use of a structured mesh means that there are rather highly skewed cells at the interface between the curved edge of the cylinder and the straight symmetry edge. The unstructured approach deals with this by removing the constraint of the cell edges having to lie along the same lines as the block boundaries. By using these relatively coarse meshes, the influence of the skewness of the grid can be seen. Although the error introduced can be reduced by refining the mesh, the number of cells required to reduce the error significantly is different for each meshing technique. This means that before doing a mesh refinement study, it is often worth spending some effort in achieving a grid structure with the least distortion possible. A converged solution on a very fine grid is also available, allowing comparisons to be drawn between these grid-independent results and those obtained on the three coarser grids described above. 2 Objectives One of the objectives of this exercise is to compare the three different types of meshing techniques described above for a complex curved geometry, and assess their relative
3 Laminar flow in tube bundles 3 strengths and weaknesses in terms of solution accuracy. A second objective is to gain more experience in using a wider range of CFD and other software tools for simulations and post-processing; in particular here using the Star CCM+ program to perform the flow simulations. 3 Investigations First, follow the instructions given below to run the case using the block-structured grid (BLOCK), and post-process the results. Then, follow the same steps to compute and examine the solution for the other two grids. Comparisons should be drawn between the computed solutions on the different grids, and the grid-independent one from the provided fine grid solution. Qualitative comparisons can be made by examining velocity vector plots, contour plots of velocity or pressure, and streamlines. For quantitative output, useful comparisons include U-velocity component profiles along the periodic boundary (x = 0) and symmetry line (y = 0). The flow recirculation length, deduced from the velocity profile along y = 0. The computed mass flow rate, conveniently expressed non-dimensionally as the Reynolds number based on tube diameter and bulk velocity (Re = U b d/ν). Compute the pressure drop coefficient K p as in: P = K p 1 2 ρu 2 b (1) The pressure drop P/L = 10 5 has to be prescribed as a forcing term F = P/L where L is the distance between the periodic faces. OPTIONAL: You could also investigate how the pressure drop coefficient K p changes with Re number. By systematically increasing the viscosity (multiply by 2, 4, 8...) you can decrease Re while keeping the same P. Calculate the quantity K p Re and see if it remains constant. How does the recirculation region change with Re? 4 Reporting Requirements Students should submit a short report within 2 weeks of the laboratory. The report should contain a brief introductory section, outlining the nature of the investigations conducted, and should then describe and discuss (with the aid of a selection of figures) the results obtained and comparisons between the various solutions. Excluding tables and figures this is unlikely to require more than 4 5 pages of text.
4 Laminar flow in tube bundles 4 5 Guide to Running Star CCM+ First download the meshs required from the website: (this web address is case sensitive). Star CCM+ can be found on the computers in the computer cluster. It is installed under EPS, MACE as shown in Figure 3. Figure 3: How to launch Star CCM Once the Star CCM+ window has opened go to file and select new simulation as in Figure 4. Figure 4: Setting up a simulation in Star CCM+
5 Laminar flow in tube bundles 5 A new window labelled Create a New Simulation is going to open, leave the settings as default and click on OK. After the case has been set up, click on file again and then select Import as in Figure 5. Figure 5: Setting up a simulation in Star CCM+ This is going to open another window. Navigate to the mesh Bundle_block.ccm and open it. This is going to give an import mesh option menu, keep the default settings and select ok. If every thing has been done correctly then a fluid region should show up as shown in Figure 6. Figure 6: Setting up a simulation in Star CCM+ Now this fluid domain has to be split into different regions, so that boundary condi-
6 Laminar flow in tube bundles 6 tions can be assigned. Expand the Regions tab as shown in Figure 7 Figure 7: Setting up a simulation in Star CCM+ Select Split by Angle. Another window with several options on splitting the boundaries by angle is going to appear as in Figure 8. Add the boundary to the Selected list and leave the setting as default and click on Apply. Note that new boundaries are going to be added under the Boundaries tab Figure 8: Setting up a simulation in Star CCM+ Now the Default_Boundary_Region2 and Default_Boundary_Region3 have to be further divided and can be done by splitting the domain by angle in the same way as done previously. The only difference is that this time the prescribed angle is going to be 30 as in Figure 9
7 Laminar flow in tube bundles 7 Figure 9: Setting up a simulation in Star CCM+ The boundary conditions are to be defined now and can be done by selecting the regions under the Boundaries tab. The Default_Boundary_Region should be assigned a Symmetry Plane as in Figure 10 Figure 10: Setting up a simulation in Star CCM+ Similarly the respective boundary conditions for other boundaries can be setup and

Double click on the Models tab as in Figure 11 Figure 11: Setting up a simulation in Star CCM+
9 Laminar flow in tube bundles 9 A new window for physics model selection would appear. This allows the user to select the required solution methods and models to be used for the calculation as in Figure 12 Figure 12: Setting up a simulation in Star CCM+ In the Physics Model Selection select Steady under Time calculation, Gas under the Material, Segregated Flow under Flow, Constant Density under Equation of State and Laminar under the Viscous Regime. The selection is shown in Figure 13. Once every thing has been selected click on Close. Figure 13: Setting up a simulation in Star CCM+
10 Laminar flow in tube bundles 10 Once the Physics Model Selection is complete the material properties i.e. density and dynamic viscosity have to be changed. Expand the Models tab and then expand the Gas tab as in Figure 14. Change the Density to ρ = kg/m 3 and the dynamic viscosity to µ = Ns/m 2. Figure 14: Setting up a simulation in Star CCM+
11 Laminar flow in tube bundles 11 After updating the material properties the periodic boundary conditions are to be defined. This can be done by selecting the Default_Boundary_Region 32 and Default_Boundary_Region 33 at the same time and then right clicking Default_Boundary_Region 32, a drop down menu would appear go to create interface and select periodic as in Figure 15. If this is done correctly then a new tab called Interfaces would appear in the simulation menu. Figure 15: Setting up a simulation in Star CCM+
12 Laminar flow in tube bundles 12 Now expand the Interface tab and select the tab labelled Periodic a table would appear in the properties menu as in Figure 16. Change the Interface type to Fully-Developed Interface as shown in Figure 16. Figure 16: Setting up a simulation in Star CCM+
13 Laminar flow in tube bundles 13 Expand Physics Values tab under the Periodic1 tab and specify the pressure jump as P a as shown in Figure 17. Figure 17: Setting up a simulation in Star CCM+
14 Laminar flow in tube bundles 14 After setting up the Periodic boundary conditions expand the Stopping Criteria tab and set the Maximum Steps to 2000 as shown in Figure 18. This is the maximum number of iterations to be used by the simulation. Figure 18: Setting up a simulation in Star CCM+ In order to run the simulation initilise the solution by clicking on and then click on to run the simulation for the prescribed number of iterations. After the simulation has been started a graph appears on the screen which shows the residuals for the respective simulation. Once the calculation has finished the following message appears in the Output window. Stopping criterion Maximum Steps satisfied.
15 Laminar flow in tube bundles 15 6 Post-Processing in Star CCM+ In order to analyse the results from the simulation the integrated post-processing tools available in StarCCM+ are used. In order to make plots from the simulation, nevigate to the Scenes tab and right click on it, a drop down menu would appear. Then go to New Scene and select Scalar as in Figure 19. If this step is followed correctly a new tab Scalar Scene 1 should appear under the Scenes tab. Figure 19: Post-Processing in Star CCM+
16 Laminar flow in tube bundles 16 Now expand Scalar Scene 1 Displayers Scalar 1 and right click on the Parts tab under the Scalar 1 tab then select Edit as in Figure 20. Figure 20: Post-Processing in Star CCM+ A new window is going to open which gives the option to select the regions to be displayed in the plot. Check the box next to Regions as in Figure 21 and click OK Figure 21: Post-Processing in Star CCM+
17 Laminar flow in tube bundles 17 After selecting the parts select the Scalar Field tab and then select the Function in the Scalar Field properties window as in Figure 22. Note that in Figure 22 the i,j and k represent the respective X,Y and Z components of velocity. Select the i component of the velocity. Figure 22: Post-Processing in Star CCM+ If every thing has been done correctly a plot shown in Figure 23 should show up in the visualisation window.
18 Laminar flow in tube bundles 18 Figure 23: Post-Processing in Star CCM+ In order to make the plots smooth select Scalar 1 tab under the Scalar Scene 1 tab, then in the properties window change the Contour Style to Smooth Filled as in Figure 24 Figure 24: Post-Processing in Star CCM+
19 Laminar flow in tube bundles 19 The default pressure option in Star CCM+ is given as absolute pressure rather than the relative presure. In this study relative pressure is required so in order to rectify this a field function is used to post-process the pressure field in the simulation. A new field function can be introduced by expanding the Tools tab and then right clicking the Field Functions tab and selecting New as in Figure 25 Figure 25: Post-Processing in Star CCM+ A new field function labelled as User Field Function1 is going to appear under the Field Functions tab. Select the User Field Function1 and change the Definition in the properties window to : $Pressure+(((1e-5)*($${Position}[0]))/2)
20 Laminar flow in tube bundles 20 The definition for the field function is shown in Figure 26. Now in order to plot pressure follow the same procedure as done for velocity and make a new scalar scene, but this time select the User Field Function1 instead of velocity when specifying the scalar. Figure 26: Post-Processing in Star CCM+ A quantitative way of comparing the results is to plot velocity profiles along particular lines. For this exercise the bottom symmetry line at y = 0 and the periodic line at x = 0 can be used. Before creating the line make sure that a Scalar Scene is open in the visualisation window. Then right click on the Derived Parts tab go to New Parts then probe and then select Line as in Figure 27. An input menu is going to appear in the tabs menu as in Figure 28 and the line is going to be visible in the visualisation window. To create the line at the symmetry plane y = 0 enter the points as (0.5, 0, 0.2) and (1.5, 0, 0.2) and set the resolution to 20 points. Click on Create and then on Close
21 Laminar flow in tube bundles 21 Figure 27: Post-Processing in Star CCM+ Figure 28: Post-Processing in Star CCM+
22 Laminar flow in tube bundles 22 To create another probe line along the periodic plane x = 0 follow the same procedure as done for the y = 0 plane, but now use the points as (0, 0.5, 0.2) and (0, 1, 0.2) and set the resolution to 10 points. To plot the velocity or pressure profiles along the lines created earlier right click on the Plots tab go to New Plot and then select XY Plot as in Figure 29 Figure 29: Post-Processing in Star CCM+ A new tab labelled XY Plot1 is going to appear under the Plots tab. Select the XY Plot1 tab and select the Parts in the properties window then select line-probe as in Figure 30 Figure 30: Post-Processing in Star CCM+
23 Laminar flow in tube bundles 23 Now expand the Y Types tab under XY Plot1 tab and select the Scalar in the properties window as in Figure 31. Select i component of the velocity. Figure 31: Post-Processing in Star CCM+ In order to reset the scale in the XY plot the expand the XY Plot1 YType 1 and select line-probe. Then in the properties window change the X Offset to 0.5 as in Figure 32 If every thing has been done correctly then an XY plot should be obtained in the visualisation window as in Figure 33
24 Laminar flow in tube bundles 24 Figure 32: Post-Processing in Star CCM+ Figure 33: Post-Processing in Star CCM+ Now repeat these steps to obtain a new XY plot along the x = 0 plane. The difference in this plot is that the position has a different direction to the position in the previous plot and the value of the X Off set is 1.0. To change the position for this plot expand the respective XY Plot tab and then expand the X Type tab. In the properties window
25 Laminar flow in tube bundles 25 change the direction to [0.0,-1.0,0.0] as in Figure 34 Figure 34: Post-Processing in Star CCM+ Note that all the figures can be exported by right clicking on the respective scene and selecting export. In case of XY plots a spread sheet is exported and can be used by Microsoft Excel or MATLAB. 7 Fine Grid Solutions After post processing the results for the Block mesh, the same procedure can be applied to the other two meshes, i.e. PAVE and TETRA. Create a new case for all the mesh and follow the same instructions. After the results for the three meshes have been obtained, they can be compared with the reference data available on the website. These results were obtained with a mesh of cells using the same version of Star CCM+, and can be used to compare the coarse mesh results obtained during the exercise.
