Open Channel Flow of a U-Tube Manometer
Open channel flow analysis was performed to determine the free surface in this U-tube manometer.
The analysis begins with one side of the fluid being two inches higher than the other.
With gravity applied, the water flows back and forth. From this analysis,
we can determine characteristics such as the period of the flow inside of the U-tube and the flow rate at any point in the fluid.
Unsteady Fluid Flow Analysis of an Ink Feed Channel The Hewlett-Packard Company optimized ink flow in the ink feed channel of this thermal inkjet print head with unsteady fluid flow analysis to maximize print quality.
Fluid Flow Analysis of Deflector Vane This unsteady fluid flow analysis shows the air flow patterns for this chamber, in order to study flow mixing. Since laminar flow was most desirable, the orientation of the vanes with respect to the inlet was critical.
