Mixing of fluids.

Vikram Manthri Feb 11, 2015 9:23 PM

I have a cylindrical tube through which 2 fluids enter (each enter through half of the cross section) and get mixed. They both are liquids. I am trying to find how to define multiple fluids in the model.

I have added new fluid ( not in the database). In the general settings, I have selected fluids and in initial conditions, I have given concentrations of both fluids to be zero ( as there is no fluid in the tube).

I have divided the inlet lid into 2 surfaces. But how do I tell solidworks that that Fluid A is entering through the half of the cross section with said properties ?

Hi Vikram,

You can use split surface option to split the face and select one face and specify the flow, and next face and specify the another flow. Else update your model. Its very easy to give suggestion/solution.

  Yes, I have done that already by giving separate boundary condition. But how do i tell solidworks, which fluid is going through which cross section ?

Sorry I didn't notice concentration option in boundary condition. Got it.
