The main objective is to study the heat and flow profile over the sphere surfaces using CFD tool. I am looking for ideas of how to construct such a geometry and link it with CFD analysis.
Before I begin, a precursor to MATLAB rng here: http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/examples/controlling-random-number-generation.html
To create randomness, a function is required that can randomly generate numbers. rng and rand in MATLAB does the same. The random number generator (rng) produces random number within the specified range. The property of randomness implies that the rng does not generate same numbers with specified repeatability over prescribed occurrences. After generating random numbers, a method is needed to convert them to prescribe distribution of spheres. The random numbers act as the location of center of spheres within the box. One random number generates three coordinates needed to specify the location of sphere, like (x, y, z) = f(rng) s.t. x_min
Hey Kumar,
That was something i was planning to, but the problem being how should i link the geometry to a CFD tool. I will be getting the randomly generated locations for sphere and i may have to build the model in CFD or CAD package using the locations generated by MATLAB. The whole process would be tedious since i would be accounting for 300-500 spherical particles.
Thanks,
300-500 ... My suggestions is to use SOLIDWORKS because it can conveniently help you to generate these number of particles. How can you practically confirm that there were 300-500 particles and not 299 or 501 particles ?
