    Air Software
AI Thread Summary
Free airflow simulation software is sought for analyzing air flow in pipes, specifically to understand the effects of shapes like elbows and reducers. Users suggest looking into duct calculators for basic data like pressure and velocity. The discussion highlights a need for software that can model flow perturbations caused by various pipe shapes. There is an emphasis on finding free solutions suitable for engine improvement projects. Overall, the search is for effective tools to simulate airflow dynamics in engineering applications.

Hello
May someone tell me if there's a software to simulate air flowing in a pipe (free software)
best regards from France

I'm not sure what you mean by "simulate", but if you're just looking for the various relevant pieces of data (static/dynamic pressure, velocity, pressure drop, etc), Google a "ductulator" or "duct calculator".
 
I'd like to have an idea of what are the pertubations generated by "objects"/"shapes" in a pipe during air flowing...
 
Are you referring to flow past immersed bodies or perturbations due to elbows, reducers, etc...?
 
yes, due to elbows, reducers, etc...?
i'm planning some improvements on my engine during rebuild...
thanks

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'
I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...
I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
