Pipe Connection
Use the
Pipe Connection
feature to couple a Pipe Flow interface with a Laminar Flow interface. This feature is also available with the Creeping Flow interface if you have the additional modules with the applicable license.
Pipe Connection
This feature couples a 1D pipe segment modeled with the Pipe Flow interface with a 3D single phase flow body. After adding a Pipe Connection feature to both the single-phase flow interface and the Pipe Flow interface, choose an option from the list to couple the two physics interfaces.
•
The Pipe Flow interface adds the Pipe Connection to an end point of a pipe.
•
The Single Phase flow interface adds the Pipe Connection to a 2D surface that comprises an orifice in a 3D body.
•
When both connections have been added the should be configured to point to each other.
•
The connection ensure continuity in pressure and velocity across the connection, regardless of flow direction. The flow may switch direction during a simulation.
