    Kazi Saad
    This document describes a numerical simulation of fluid flow in a rectangular pipe. The objectives are to analyze the velocity contour and profile at different locations for Reynolds numbers of 100.41 and 200.41. The methodology involves setting up the geometry, meshing, and running simulations in ANSYS Fluent to solve the governing equations. Results show the velocity contour and profile vary along the pipe length and between the two Reynolds numbers. Pressure drop also increases with Reynolds number, demonstrating the effect of Reynolds number on internal fluid flow characteristics.

    2.0 Objectives:

    1.1 Draw a velocity contour at different cross section (X-Y plane) for a specific Re. (At
    least five which are in equal distance.
    1.2 Compare velocity contour at outlet for different Re.
    1.3 Draw velocity profile along the vertical direction at center plane (cross section along
    the middle plane) for a specific Re values. (This location will be at least 5 when are in
    equal distance.)
    1.4 Draw velocity profile along the vertical direction at outlet for different Re values.
    1.5 Draw velocity profile along the center line for different Re.
    1.6 Effect of re on pressure drop. (pressure drop should be calculated between two planes
    where flow is fully developed.

    vi) Fluent Setup:

    For setting up the CFD simulation in Ansys fluent-


    1. Ensure that the proper options are enabled.
    2. The dimension setting is already filled in and cannot be changed.
    3. Since Ansys Fluent automatically sets it based on the mesh or geometry for
    the current system.
    4. Afterwards click ‘OK’ to launch Ansys Fluent.

    5.0 Conclusion:
    In this experiment, firstly, Geometry was drawn as mentioned
    in the problem & mesh was developed with edge sizing.
    Velocity contour for different value of z for Re=100.41 has been
    determined. For different value of z, contour was seen different
    to others, as the 1st one & the last one, looked like different
    contour as their color was not similar.
    For Re=200.41, velocity contour was determined & also
    compared with the contour for Re=100.41.
    Velocity profile was determined for Re=100.41 & Re=200.41.
    Pressure drop for different Re was also determined & from the
    graph, it was seen that the graph was increasing as the pressure
    increases.
