Verification of ANSYS Fluent and OpenFOAM CFD platforms for prediction of impact flow

Abstract

The main goal of the article is a verification of the heat transfer coefficient numerically predicted by two CDF platforms -ANSYS-Fluent and OpenFOAM on the problem of impact flows oncoming from 2D nozzle. Various mesh parameters and solver settings were tested under several boundary conditions and compared to known experimental results. The best solver setting, suitable for further optimization of more complex geometry is evaluated.
