We did that and found a much higher pressure difference than that predicted by Solidworks. I'll just have to go back to the model and see if I made any mistakes.

I am using Solidworks to model the pressure distribution of air around a large fan. The fan is 10' in diameter and moves 94,000 CFM. I need to know the effect adding a large duct around the inlet of the fan would have on the pressure. If the duct causes a huge pressure drop then we can't use it...

Oh really? I didn't realize that. Maybe I'll keep looking then.

Follow up: Solidworks Flow Simulation is doing the trick beautifully.

Ansys looks promising. I will look into it. We don't yet know the full scope of this project and the boundary conditions are not well established. I believe the gas flow will be simplified from experimental data. I think it's safe to say the exit profile is uniform but I'd like the...

Hi guys this is my first post. I hope it's in the right place. I am trying to model heat flow over a plate positioned very close to exhaust from a jet engine. Can anyone recommend software that can do this? I'd like to be able to visualize the airflow itself, its temperature and the...
