Duct Tutorial Evaluation
- Take a look at what is the benefit the optimization.
- Do the following experiment:
- Run the duct tutorial with adjointShapeOptimizationFoam solver
- Run the duct tutorial with simpleFoam solver
- Evaluate and compare the pressure drop of both.
- Run this tutorial both with adjointShapeOptimizationFoam first and then with simpleFoam. After that evaluate the average pressure in the inlet (there is zero pressure at the outlet anyway):
# ./Allrun.sh
# postProcess -func ’patchAverage(name=inlet,p)’ -latestTime
# cp Allrun.sh Allrun-simpleFoam.sh
# sed -i "s/adjointShapeOptimizationFoam/simpleFoam/g" Allrun-simpleFoam.sh
# ./Allrun-simpleFoam.sh
# postProcess -func ’patchAverage(name=inlet,p)’ -latestTime - Conclusion: The static pressure at the inlet is lower in the adjoined (optimized) case than in the non-optimized case. So, the geometry can be optimized this way.
