Flow Analysis and Heat Transfer

COMSOL

In my Thermal Fluid Systems Class, we learned to use COMSOL to create various simulations in order to analyze different flows or heat transfers.

Flute

Group of 3

For this lab, we chose to analyze the flow and heat transfer within a classical flute.

Breakout Holes

I had to simulate the flow in a â€‹simplified geometry representing cool air blowing out of a breakout hole, which is oftentimes used to cool turbine blades, and a small section of the turbine blade’s surface downstream of that hole

Airfoil

I was tasked with sketching a small airfoil with an angle of attack ranging between 20 to 60 degrees. I analyzed the flow when experiencing a velocity of .015 meters per second.
