Project Overview
Domains: Computational Fluid Dynamics, CAD Modeling
Description: The objective of this project is to evaluate the durability of a spray-based dust separation system. Currently, there is a risk for water droplets generated by the nozzle to escape and enter a sensitive dust filter, compromising the system in place; this risk must be measured and eliminated. We will use Solidworks and Ansys Fluent to design and simulate different water spray conditions, optimizing for safety by varying droplet size, speed and orientations if necessary.
Work Description
Roles: 1 CFD engineer
Stipend: Paid project
Project Duration: 1 month
Tasks/Deliverables:
- Create a CAD model of the dust separator system with water spray nozzles.
- Simulate water sprays under various conditions (droplet size, speed, nozzle positions) on Ansys Fluent.
- Analyze simulations to determine if water enters the dust filter.
- Optimize water spray parameters to ensure no water enters the filter.
- Deliver a report detailing the CAD model, simulation results, and optimization recommendations.
Skills Learned
- Use of CFD in industry
- Problem-solving and optimization techniques in engineering
- Solidworks
- Ansys Fluent
Qualifications Required
Familiarity with CAD and CFD softwares is highly appreciated.
Interest in interaction with industry and factory deployment is beneficial.

(Optional) Assignment:
You are provided with some of the links to help with the use of Ansys Fluent. You are free to use any other resources to your help
Task 1: Simulate
- Using Ansys Fluent, simulate water spray in a cube such that the nozzle is at one of the top corners.
- Simulate multiple such water sprays changing 2 parameters - nozzle angle & water speed (choose any 5 different combinations of these 2 parameters)
Task 2: Analyse
- Analyse the 5 different water sprays using DPM model to track water particles and comment on the percentage of the water hitting the side walls of the cube
Task 3: Report your work
- Make a document showing simulation and quantitative analysis of different water sprays and their comparison.
