NFX-T: 1060 Tank Sloshing Taurus Tank

Tutorial Level: Beginner Set up simple single-phase tank case for tank sloshing simulation using SimLab for CFD-nanoFluidX solution. Fuel distribution and sloshing behavior will be analyzed and velocity, and forces will be computed.

Model Description

• The model consists of gas tank bottom and top parts which are connected at the flange to form a closed geometry (1.122 X 0.658 X 0.241 m) and tank closures
• Materials are directly assigned to each body and nanoFluidX phase are defined
• Boundary conditions, such as initial condition, and global acceleration field are defined
• Particle mesh using particles is created.

In this lesson you will learn how to:

• Import discrete models STL file
• Select unit system
• Define SPH flow solution
• Define oil properties
• Define initial condition
• Define body force
• Create SPH particles
• Set solver settings
• Set result request
• Check simulation data
• Run the model in SimLab
• Perform basic post-processing in SimLab
