- I am trying to find equivalent resistance for Perf and mesh used in the Strainer. Creating a complete model is create huge memory and time consuming and problem for big size strainers
- Solid works flow simulation has a Porous Media option, but I don’t know how to choose equivalent porous media option for my application.
- Please advise if there is any alternate equivalent flow resistance option in solid works flow for my application.
- Porous media application in Solid works
- How to define which type of porous media to be selected for Equivalent of perf and mesh geometry
- While specifying the direction to porous media, which to be considered Porous geometry opening direction or fluid reference flow direction.
- How to define which type of porous media to be selected for Equivalent of perf and mesh geometry
- see attached picture of screens with only perf , but for fine filtration it will be covered with second layer of mesh matetrial. these screens are encloused in strainer body.
- Perf details, hole opening-0.125 in , center distance between holes is 0.1875 in , open area percentage of Perd is 40%
- Mesh opening is 0.0055 in, Open area percentage is 36%
please advise any solution to my application, if needed any more information please let me know.
