I am looking for best and easiest software for a beginner in this field.
I am working with electroflotation column and I had a lot of hydrodynamic experimental results, now I need to validate them with CFD simulation.
It is not clear what exactly you want to simulate. Is it bubble growth in electrode and subsequent detachment or bubble shape deformation while it is rising? Anyway, coupled level set VOF (CLSVOF) method of FLUENT is good to simulate any bubble hydrodynamics.
We are looking for both detachment of bubbles AND its hydrodynamic characteristics of produced bubbles such as size and rise velocity
If you know your bubble size at time t=0, then it is easy to simulate the detachment and subsequent rise process using FLUENT. However, if you would like to simulate bubble growth on the electrode, it is not straightforward. Bubble growth rate kinetics must be separately coupled through a user defined function to FLUENT.
