Hey /sci/!

Is anyone familiar here with FEM simulations?

I know that this question should be in /adv/, but I'm almost completely sure that they won't have the slightest idea what I'm talking about.

So, I'm working with FEM simulations, and trying ot solve a CFD problem(I'm a physicist).

I've started with a laminar model which worked quite nicely even at higher velocities. But as I've started to do a mesh refinement study it showed that my mesh was too coarse since the result was highly dependent on the mesh size. So I've made my mesh finer and finer

It worked quite nicely but the result was still dependent on the mesh size even when i was using very fine meshes. And then I've reached a mesh quality where the mesh was so fine that the laminar model didn't converged anymore. My idea was that there are maybe microturbulences appear in the flow field which the coarser meshes couldn't resolv, but the finer could, so I've switched to turbulent model.

The turbulent model solved the problem on the mesh where the laminar failed. Started a new mesh refinement study, but now with the turbulent model. But I've experienced the same: the result was dependent on the mesh size, but not as much as in the laminar model. Anyways now I've reached a very-very fine mesh(barely fit in my 24 GB ram...) where even the turbulent model failes to converge...

Btw with the turbulent model is quite tricky to reach the convergence. First I startw with k-epsilon, use this solution as an initial condition for a Spalart-Allmaras solver, and after use this result as an inition condition for an SST solvert(becaus I think that SST is the most reliable, and I'm really interested in the flowfield near the walls, so the solvers using wall functions are out of the scope. I use them only for initial condition generation.)

Does anyone have experience with this? Thank you in advance!

The results will always be dependent on mesh size, but they should gradually converge to a certain equilibrium value. You just have to estimate what that value is by plotting convergence. Also what program are you using? Uniform meshes are really inefficient.

Reminds me of femm but I only used that for modeling electric motors lol
>>
>>9124221
Thank you for your answer!
Yes, I know that it's always dependent on the size, but the difference between average velocities in the two last step wich converged is about 100 mm/s, while the maximum velocity in the system is 2 m/s, so i think it's quite big.

I'm using COMSOL Multiphysics 5.2a. The system is basically an inverted version of a magnetic mixer.

The capsule here is on the top of the dish, rotating, and I'm interested in the velocity profile at the bottom of the dish. So around the stirring capsule and at the bottom of the dish I'm using an extremely fine mesh ~0.1 mm the maximum element size. There are 15 boundary layers coming from the bottom with starting size 0.05 mm and in every next layer it's 1.5 times thicker than the previous.

I'm using a little bit coarse mesh on the top and the side of the cylinder. there the maximum element size is 1 mm. At the side of the cylinder I'm using the boundary layers described above, the difference is only that the next layers always 2x thicker than the previous.

This. I don't get why people need meaning. The fact that you have a subjective experience is amazing enough. Go experience life anon, your experience is the only thing that you'll ever have. If that doesn't matter enough for you, why should other things.

Post stupid/pseudo "clever" questions people have asked you.
A friend of mine asked me "If the current temperature is zero degrees and it's going to be twice as cold tomorrow, what temperature will we have tomorrow? "
1) Temperature is an interval metric variable and not a ratio variable, which means that zero of it does not mean "nothing" (No natural zero) and, for example, 10 degrees is not actually double as cold as 20 degrees.

Cont. The question is not even valid.

I hope this is /r/iamverysmart bait, the answer is 273 celsius. Absolute zero is a thing, and you're retarded.
>>
>>9124140
If you can't make a difference between a point of no more movement between atoms and a point of nothingness, then you are retarded. A "zero" in temperature as in 0 Celsius is not the same as in "Zero" Kelvin. Again, make a difference between ratio and interval variables and don't play smart.

According to people on the internet, differential equations are an essential course for physics and math degrees
How come at the university I plan on going to next year, is the differential equation course is listed under computational modeling instead of physics or math?

Differential equations and PDE's are apparently essential to my chosen acedemic path aswell (theoretical ecology) I have no idea how they work but I've seen what they are used for. Modeling systems, computational modeling makes sense.
I just wish physhits and math autists would give ecologists the respect they deserve. https://www.researchgate.net/figure/279961058_fig1_Fig-1-Wave-equivalence-between-physics-and-ecology-a-Graphical-summary-of-stationary
What really pisses me off is I get all of this at a conceptual level and have yet no idea how to into maths

being able to take a derivative or to integrate a function is the half of the skill of calculus. It assumes you have the function to begin with.

Differential equations is the other half of the skill that lets you make the function based on the differential measurments or assumptions.

The two halves are inseparable from the start. It is just that, like multiplication and division; like multiplication the derivation and integration is a determined algorithm, while like division. differential equations requires trial and error and a lot of tricks.

Differentiation and Integration start with the function and give you information on how it changes. Differential equations starts with the differential changes and gives you the function.
Sometimes...

>>9124619

As for why it is under computation, because that is how we do calculus nowadays.
You never get the function. You simply get the answer for the starting parameters you enter and it is solved numerically by taking lots of little steps billions of times.

How does conservation of energy work in a siphon?

Bernoulli's equation:
(ρv^2)/2 + ρgh + P = constant

Considering the siphon in pic,

Since A, B and C are points in the same tube, vA=constant => v=constant

Taking the surface of upper water reservoir as 0 level,

At A,
(ρv^2)/2 - ρgd + (1 atm + ρgd) = constant

At C,
(ρv^2)/2 + ρg hc + 1 atm = constant

compare the two equations,
hc = 0

which leads to contradiction

Bernoulli itself can be interpreted as the conservation of energy (by applying the first principle)
i think you got the pressure wrong at A

It's not known for sure how siphons work.

You mean the particle horizon? That's not a black hole. Black holes are (once you are inside) a singularity towards which all timelines end, in the future, sucking all the energy.

If anything, the particle horizon is the exact opposite of a black hole, being a singularity from where all timelines begin, in the past, and from where all the energy comes from.

so whats beyond the blackhole exactly?

Lets talk about breasts, as these questions have kept me awake for multiple nights now:

1. Why can't we invent breath enlargement "serum"? I'm not some thirsty incel, but such a concept of popular fantasy should be the most basic organic chemistry to figure out.

2. Why are most breasts round and orb-like, but those produced using the same hormones on transgender individuals are ALWAYS pointy?

Would dinosaurs of evolved into intelligent life forms had they been given enough time?
30 posts and 8 images submitted.
>>
>>9123523
Nope. Evolution chooses what works, and size worked in that age. Dinosaurs had tiny brains, and we only gained intelligence because we're pack animals that need to communicate and can readily experiment with and manipulate the world through the use of our hands.

Communication came from our being social as a hunting & defense strategy, and hands came from us living in trees and hanging on to the branches, same as birds' zygodactyl feet. These experimentation & information-sharing tools came together to allow humans to comprehend abstraction, and the invention of the word was truly the experience that gave birth to the human spirit. It's why "the word" came first in many ancient religions, including in the Bible. Without fine manipulation and communication, you do not have the word and therefore do not evolve intelligence.
