Multidimensional numerical method for performance predictions of AMR cycle using ansys fluent software.

Number: pap. 243

Author(s) : HAMDANI K., SMAÏLI A.

Summary

This work deals with the development of numerical simulation method of an active magnetic regenerator (AMR) cycle by using advanced programming tools of ANSYS-Fluent code. For this purpose, the following tools: scheme commands, RP-variables (RP refers to user-specifiable model macros in Fluent), and user defined functions (UDFs) have been considered and used. These tools are expected to enhance the ability of the software and to raise its degree of automation significantly, and thus leading to powerful numerical simulation approach. The validity of the proposed numerical approach has been investigated through 2D
parallel plate regenerator model. Preliminary results that include regenerator temperature span and temperature gradient and fluid velocity profile are presented and discussed.
