Titre : Numerical Simulations of Tubes with Abrupt Contraction on OpenFoam Auteurs : Tarik Chakkour, Revue : Thermodynamics of Interfaces and Fluid Mechanics Numéro : Proposal file Volume : Date : 2017/02/9 DOI : 10.21494/ISTE.OP.2017.0114 ISSN : 2514-4642 Résumé : The simulation engine system is an important issue in the automotive industry because of speeding up the design process, and limit the use of physical prototypes testing. The platform AMESim allows to access to libraries models for simulating engine or vehicle. Modeling approaches (0D/1D) do not however allow to match the 3D code accuracy levels. From this the study is on OpenFoam (simulation software CFD 3D) in order to reduce the problem in 1D with opening new perspectives of computing time, and prediction quality. Éditeur : ISTE OpenScience
