Sažetak

The main goal of this study is to investigate the usability of the CFD software ANSYS Student 2023 R1 for student’s scientific research. To carry out this investigation, a comparison of the analytically calculated flow rates through a standard venturi tube with the results obtained by simulations of the flow in the specified program was carried out. Given that it is a student, free version of the program, which comes with certain limitations, proving its usability by performing verification and validation on known geometry would be of great benefit. To ensure comparability, a 3D model of the venturi tube was created in accordance with the ISO 5167 standard. The flow rate was calculated on that selected geometry of the venturi tube, using the well-known equations of fluid mechanics. The selected geometry of the venturi tube was discretized in the ANSYS Student 2023 program, respecting all CFD rules. Comparison of this two sets of the results, shown match within 5%.
