Well, probably more than you thought. Little bit of fun here. I modeled a pumpkin in SolidWorks, brought it into CFdesign and ran a flow and thermal simulation to predict the air flow behavior due to the candle burning.
Obviously, this post is mostly in fun. But it does point out a few things.
Obviously, this post is mostly in fun. But it does point out a few things.
- Pumpkins are fairly complex geometry, modeling the "seams" etc. Many meshers would require extra care in capturing that level of detail.
- No need to model a "flame" when you are simply interested in flow effects, how to "vent" an enclosure with an extremely high temperature.
- There are more and more ways that Upfront CFD can be used to improve even the simplest of designs.
Happy Halloween, everyone! Be Safe!
