Manual de prácticas virtuales de laboratorio, aplicando modelación numérica (CFD) para uso en las asignaturas de mecánica de fluidos e hidráulica aplicada

Abstract

This manual was developed with the purpose of presenting and executing basic numerical models in the software known as Flow 3D within the virtual laboratories of Fluid Mechanics and Applied Hydraulics, to complement and reinforce what was learned in class, the development of the manual covers a theoretical content and an exemplified práctical part for the handling of the software, besides including some feedback for the students, in order to mark the characteristics that the software has. With the handling of the Flow 3D program, the student will be introduced to the concept of Computational Fluid Dynamics or CFD, and a simple procedure to represent numerically and graphically the behavior of hydraulic structures. The hydraulic structures presented in the laboratory manual are: thin and thick wall orifices, gates with free and submerged discharge, thin and thick wall spillways with free and submerged discharge, WES type spillway, submerged intake with pressure conduction and as a complement, hydrostatic pressures on vertical, curved and inclined walls were added. Each of the mentioned hydraulic structures obtained a práctical verification as a verification within the Flow 3D software, presenting a consistency in the results obtained in both ways.
