Modelling of flow in pipes and ultrasonic flowmeter bodies

Abstract

The contribution gives a summary of the flow modelling in flow parts of ultrasonic flowmeters using CFD system ANSYS/FLUENT. The article describes the basic techniques used to create CFD models of flow parts flow and selected results of the flow fields. The first part of the article summarizes the results of velocity profiles in smooth pipes for various turbulent models and used relations. The second part describes selected results of the numerical modelling of flow in the flow parts of the ultrasonic flowmeters and their partially comparison with experimental results.
