Tesla Valve OpenFOAM: Large Eddy Simulation

Consider supporting me on Patreon: This video builds off of the content from my previous video: The following are the results from a simulation evaluating flow inside of a Tesla Valve. A tesla valve is a passive system with no moving parts designed to impede flow in one direction while allowing it to pass undisturbed in the other. The animations are as follows: 1) passive scalar transport (s) for flow in each direction 2) passive scalar transport (s) and velocity field (U) for un-impeded flow 3) passive scalar transport (s) and velocity field (U) for impeded flow Files and Instructions: Enjoy! ------------------------------------------------------ Disclaimer ------------------------------------------------------------- LES is not an appropriate solver for 2D geometries; the main purpose here was the visualization of the self impeding flow, if I was trying to accurately calculate flow r
