Where to Find Oil Properties in CFX for Valve CFD Analysis?

[daftdave11]

Hi

i am carrying out CFD analysis on a valve and i would like to use a material of OIL as the fluid body. i have already carried out simulations with water and air, can anyone tell me were i can find the properties of oil (ie density 918kg/m³) in the materials library as at the moment this has me stumped. Any help would be appreciated.
thanks in advance

It depends on the type of oil you're using. Once you know the composition, you should be able to look it up online, or in any materials handbook.
