Fluid Flow through pipes using COMSOL Multiphysics and the Application Builder
Бюджет $250-750 USD
Job Description:
The app provides advanced capabilities for simulating fluid flow and heat transfer behavior in pipelines, optimizing pipeline designs, and analyzing simulation results.
The app can simulate fluid flow through pipelines, taking into account factors such as pipe geometry, flow rate, pressure, and temperature. It can also simulate heat transfer between the fluid and the pipeline, taking into account factors such as pipe material, wall thickness, and insulation. Additionally, the app can optimize pipeline designs, taking into account factors such as flow rate, pressure drop, temperature, and cost.
In addition to these simulation capabilities, the app also provides data visualization and analysis tools that allow users to gain insights into fluid flow and heat transfer behavior and identify areas for optimization.
Phase 1 - Work Package 1: App Development and User Interface
Technical Objectives:
- Develop a basic user interface for the FluidFlowPro app

- Implement the ability to specify the fluid and pipe properties, such as density, viscosity, diameter, and length
- Implement the ability to specify boundary conditions, such as pressure, flow rate, and temperature
- Implement the ability to specify and simulate individual fluid power components such as valves and pumps as black boxes
Deliverables:
- A basic user interface for the FluidFlowPro app that allows users to specify the fluid and pipe properties, boundary conditions, and individual fluid power components
- Core functionality for simulating fluid flow through pipes, including support for incompressible and compressible fluids, laminar and turbulent flow, and heat transfer
- A user manual documenting how to use the app and its key features
- A technical report documenting the development process and the key technical decisions made during the development
- Ability to model liquid metal and molten salt coolant behavior at high temperatures
Phase 1 - Work Package 2: App Optimization and Advanced Features
Technical Objectives:
- Optimize the performance of the FluidFlowPro app to improve simulation speed and accuracy
- Implement advanced features, such as the ability to simulate multi-phase flow and non-Newtonian fluids
- Implement additional boundary conditions, such as the ability to specify heat flux and wall roughness
- Implement the ability to perform sensitivity analyses to identify key parameters and optimize system performance
- Implement data visualization tools to help users interpret simulation results
Deliverables:
- An optimized version of the FluidFlowPro app that runs simulations more quickly and accurately than the initial version
