1 Backstep Introduction This tutorial model solves the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in a backstep geometry. A characteristic feature of fluid flow in geometries of this kind is the recirculation region that forms where the flow exits the narrow inlet region. The model clearly demonstrates the formation of such a region, which is best displayed by visualizing the flow streamlines. Model Definition MODEL GEOMETRY The model consists of a pipe connected to a block-shaped tank; see Figure 1. Due to symmetry, it is sufficient to model one eighth of the full geometry. The pipe has an inlet at one end, and the tank has an outlet at the opposite end. All other boundaries are solid walls. Figure 1: Model geometry COMSOL 1 BACKSTEP

2 DOMAIN EQUATION AND BOUNDARY CONDITIONS The flow in the system is laminar, so the model uses the Laminar Flow interface. The inlet flow is fully developed laminar flow, described by the corresponding inlet boundary condition. The boundary condition at the outlet sets a constant relative pressure. Furthermore, the vertical and inclined boundaries along the length of the geometry are symmetry boundaries. All other boundaries are solid walls described by a non-slip boundary condition. Results Figure 2 shows a combined surface and arrow plot of the flow velocity. This plot does not reveal the recirculation region in the tank immediately beyond the inlet pipe s end. For this purpose, a streamline plot is more useful, as demonstrated in Figure 3. Figure 2: The velocity field in the backstep geometry. 2 BACKSTEP 2011 COMSOL
