Zigzag Channel with Flow Pulsation, Paper CFD Validation, ANSYS Fluent

The present problem simulates the flow of water passing through a canal in a zigzag pattern by ANSYS Fluent software. The simulation is based on a reference paper “CFD SIMULATIONS OF FLOW AND HEAT TRANSFER IN A ZIGZAG CHANNEL WITH FLOW PULSATION” and its results are compared and validated with the results in the channel model is such that the number of stages of channel oscillation in the horizontal direction is equal to ten and the angle of the channel in each of these ten stages for modeling is assumed to be equal to 15 degrees. Several different Reynolds values, including 53, 107, 191, 266, 320, 427, and 534, were used for this simulation; Therefore, due to the low Reynolds numbers, the flow in all models is defined as laminar.
