Dear everyone,
For a school project, I have to model a barrel of hot wort cooled down by cold water flowing trough a spiral. Since the barrel is pretty decent in size and there will be some convection in the wort, calculation times are pretty high. Since I have to build the model to later design ways to shorten the cooling time, this long calculation time is not what you want.
Anyone that has an idea of how to reduce this time as much as possible by using (not so common) functions in Comsol?
By myself I already came up with the idea of just taking one quarter of the full barrel and then coupling all pieces of the spiral. But by doing this, there will have to be some kind of rule applied to the coupling. Something I have no idea about at the moment.
I hope some of you can help me further.
Sincerely,
Guus
