Simulation of stove

[Sephiroth]

Good day to all,

I am finishing the design of a home-sized pellet stove.

to be able to assess the goodness of the identified design solutions I would need to perform fluent simulations in order to understand the goodness of the heat exchanger.

while having experience in ansys (wb) I have never used fluent so I would like to have some tutorials or anyway some tips on how to schematize the process.

Thank you all.

Andrea.

if you have no experience with fluent but cfd mastichi is not a big problem, in the online guide you find a lot of tutorials, and on the net (google: fluent tutorial) there are hundreds, both in one and in others you find the conjugated thermal convection. I would not venture into pellet combustion, which I would consider instead as a source of thermal power.

If you have no experience with fluent and even with cfd, then if you're in a hurry my advice is to let anyone know that already, if you're interested in the topic a good course of introduction to cfd or a good book (wanting on the fluent manual there are beautiful introductory parts, but maybe a little too dense for a first approach) are a good start.

thanks for the suggestions.

the idea given the urgency would be to address me initially to someone who already knows how to do it and then to view the elaborate model and learn how to do the simulations from me.

Can you suggest someone to address me and/or introductory texts?
