AI Thread Summary
Increasing mesh density around the boundaries of the aircraft wing in a CFD simulation will enhance the accuracy of capturing forces like velocity and pressure on the velocity map and added streamlines. Higher mesh density is particularly beneficial in areas where the flow velocity changes rapidly. However, this improvement comes at the cost of longer simulation times. It is crucial to balance mesh density with computational resources to optimize results. Ultimately, refining the mesh can lead to more reliable CFD outcomes.

Im running a CFD simulation. Looking at improve my CFD simulation. my mesh is currently low density.

Q) Would increasing mesh density around the boundaries of the air craft wing capture the forces (velcoty & pressure) on my velocity map and added streamlines.

Yes, increasing the mesh density near the edges would increase the accuracy of the simulation. It will also slow down the simulation.
You need the greatest mesh density where the velocity of the flow changes fastest.
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
