Finite Element Analysis of Different Outlet Diameter on Fluidic Gyroscope Performance

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, airflow of two different outlet diameters are analyzed contrastively of fluidic gyroscope. Using ANSYS-FLOTRAN CFD software, the finite element simulation is conducted by a series of procedures, such as two-dimensional model building of gyroscope, meshing, loads applying and equation solving, and two dimensional airflow distribution of different outlet diameters in sensitive element are calculated. The results show that, velocity at the outlet Vsum=0.53872m/s which diameter of outlet d=3mm, and which is 35.9% of velocity of the inlet, airflow velocity in the outlet increases by 7.4% than d=4mm at the outlet. It accelerates velocity of fluidic beam without any vortex increases in sensitive cavity when d=3mm, and it also increases thermal wires temperature changes and improves the sensitivity of fluidic gyroscope.
