Problem description5:23
This example includes an experimental test that has been conducted to find the solar radiation magnitude & direction and other parameters of a box solar cooker. Then, two methods of simulation are run in ANSYS FLUENT which are the experimental inputs-based simulation and the solar calculator-based simulation. Those methods are then validated via comparing with the experimental measurements performed earlier.

Description

Welcome to our ANSYS professional course!

We are glad to present this comprehensive course that contains at the beginning number of crucial fundamentals and basics related to the big idea of simulation and CFD in a simple and interesting way.

After that, a detailed explanation of DesignModeler is presented with a high quality and organized content and examples with a step by step illustration.

The next section is the ANSYS Meshing that has been divided into several videos with a well-organized flow of ideas in order to simplify the meshing process and generate high-quality structured hexa mesh. Also, the theory related to meshing is summarized in animated presentations. In addition, 3 special tools have been programmed for the purpose of meshing optimization.

After meshing, 5 real-world application examples, with a special experimentally validated example that simulates the solar load, are solved using ANSYS Mechanical Thermal, ANSYS Mechanical Structural, and ANSYS FLUENT. Also, the parametric analysis has been used in one of the examples. Through those examples, you can see the powerful tools of ANSYS Workbench and the different results we can get. The results of the first four examples have been verified by comparing them to analytical calculations and empirical correlations. The last example is validated with the experimentally measured data for a box solar cooker using both solar load methods (i.e. experimental inputs and solar calculator).

Throughout the course, multiple practice activities are continuously added to help the student mastering the key ideas of each section of the course.
