Swirl Diffuser

Post by joshseed »

Hi All,

Currently I am trying to model a swirl diffuser within MicroFlo in a simple office scenario however, the simulation starts and instantly stops. I have modeled the same scenario with all other diffuser types and encountered no errors. I feel as though I am missing something simple, hopefully someone has encountered the same error.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.

Swirl diffuser will require a mesh that is finer than for other diffusers.

Hi,

In my model all the diffusers are Swirl but my Number of cells and the aspect ratio are okay. But I can't run, I have the same problem of the first user, after I put to run the system just paused and don't do nothing.

In my model, I have 3 storeys and I put the fan between the floors to tell to the system that my flow have a direction. It's correct to do this?

Thanks,
Diego Lemos

I am also facing the same problem as the first user. The CFD simulation starts and instantly stops for swirl diffusers. Can anyone guide me what to do ?
