摘要

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has emerged as a powerful tool for optimizing the design of any flowmeter for given conditions. The flow features obtained with CFD are more extensive as compared to experiments. The present study is an attempt to establish the effect of size and shape of the obstruction in the target flow meter on its performance using CFD. The commercially available CFD code "FLUENT 5.0" has been used after validating against the experimental results reported in literature. The parametric study has been carried out with 6 discs each of thickness (t) of 1 mm and diameter (d) varying from 18 mm to 48 mm in steps of 6 mm for a fixed pipe diameter resulting in diameter ratios (β = d/D) in the range 0.3 to 0.8. The values of flow coefficient (K) and drag coefficient (C_d) have been evaluated as a function of Reynolds number. It has been found that for a given geometry of the target flow meter, the value of flow coefficient and drag coefficient remain constant in the turbulent region (Re>4000). The flow coefficient decreases with increase in diameter ratio (β) whereas the drag coefficient increases. A third governing parameter i.e. permanent pressure loss coefficient is also calculated and it was found that the permanent pressure loss for a target flow meter increases with increase in β. Further, parametric analysis is also carried out by varying the disc thickness of the target flow meter from 1 mm to 3 mm for β = 0.4. It has been found that the value of flow coefficient increases with increase in thickness of the disc whereas the drag coefficient value reduces which can be attributed to the reduction in size of the wake.
