Need help simulating semi-molten metal flowing around a highly viscous spherical blob in ANSYS Fluent
I have a 2D pipe with pressure-driven flow. Inside the pipe there is a fluid blob of the same density as of semi molten metal but with infinite viscosity.
My objective is to observe how the surrounding metal flows past the blob and how the blob deforms under pressure.
The blob boundary should behave similar to a no-slip interface, while the pipe wall can be treated as a slip if required.
It is needed to be done in ANSYS FLUENT.
Any suggestions, example cases, or Fluent setup recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
