I have seen no one dislike this video because only wise man understand what you teach and they are here to learn . I love your video

[@AnsysTutor]

Thank you.

[@hurayratonmoy7990]

I don’t have any method option at 16:19 where you used YZ plane. Instead of that, I have options, sample density,points etc. I am using Fuent 2019 R3

[@AnsysTutor]

If you are using older version then you need to put coodinates of any 3 points on that plane to create the new reference plane.

At 18:36, your screen shows a different time which is 0.344 sec, differs with in your previous set parameter 600 steps 0.0001 sec per step, so finally we get different contours with yours. Can you tell us the real parameters of your showed results?

Hi. I have problem with generating the mesh. it says "The axisymmetric sweeper may noy associate mesh to all edges and vertices. Check any relevant loads and boundary conditions that may affected". I am using ansys version 2020 R2 Academic. I also had the line body suppresed. Please Help..Thanks

[@rickywang3189]

I find out that changing the inclination angle from 150 to 135 will solve the problem, as you did in the video. I thought it was optional. I have no idea why the inclination angle could affect the axisymmetric meshing. Any idea about this?

[@AnsysTutor]

Its due to software glitch. You can create a new geometery with the same inclination ,it would work .

You need to create this using an UDF. If you cant do it using UDF then you need to stop the solution in between and switch the Boundary Condition.

Would you talk about triple phase. Water, air particle. I assume it should be a multiphase with air being a primary phase, water being a secondary phase and dpm on. Is that right?

Decrease the Time step size and increase the no of iterations per time step. Allow the solver to converge in each time step it might give good result.
