INTRODUCTION
For over 50 years, prestressed concrete double tee
members have been the component of choice for piping
structures throughout the world. The double tee
members are laid side by side and typically span
approximately 60 ft. The 60 ft span is desirable because it
provides a column free span over two drive aisle lanes
flanked on both sides by parking stalls. Double tee flanges,
which were primarily 8 ft. wide in the beginning, have
increased incrementally to a width of 16 ft., with the most
common current width nationwide being 12 ft. The
properties of a typical12 ft. wide by 30 in. deep, pre-topped
double tee, suitable to span 60 ft.
Initially, double tee top flanges were 2 in.
thick. Steel angles, or plates with reinforcing bar anchorages
or bent rebar were embedded at 5 to 10 ft intervals along the
flange edges. The embed plates of adjacent were connected
via welded faceplates. Then a 2 in. to 3 in. thick cast-in-place
concrete topping, reinforced with wire mesh, was poured
over the entire deck, creating an overall flange thickness of 4
to 5 in.
Joints were formed in the concrete topping using a grooving
tool, centred over the double tee joints to allow relief cracks
to form at those locations. The joints were filled with
sealant after the concrete topping cured.

AIM:
To analyse and study about the pressure and velocity
contours on flow in the double tee joint.

SOFTWARE USED:
ANSYS Software

TOOLS USED:
Fluid flow Fluent

MESH USED:
General mesh (Between inlet and outlet)

BOUNDRY CONDITIONS:
Velocity inlet.
Pressure used.

PROCEDURE:
 Select start - All program-ANSYS 19.1- Workbench 19
 ANSYS software opens
 After opening select the fluid flow of fluent type
 Select and drag the fluid flow (fluent) into the Project Schematic
using the scroll button.
 Rename the fluid flow (Fluent) to convergent and divergent pipe
flow.
 Double click on the geometry to open Design Modeller.
 Look at Y-Z Plane in order to create a pipe in x direction.
 After selecting the x plane sketch the required geometry to draw
the required cross section of the pipe which is shown in the
sketching toolbar.
 Select the circle by switching to the sketching section scrolling
over the side down arrow.
 Place the mouse pointer in the centre and click on it. Then drag
the mouse pointer towards the outer end.
 Select the dimensions below the sketching toolboxes.
 Close the Design Modeller in File menu.
 Double click on the mesh menu to open Meshing.
 The window will open with the project toolbar and the pipe
which is modelled will be opened.
 Right click on the face near origin and right click on it to select
Named Selection Option.
 Rename it as Outlet and click OK.
 The renaming is done so that while analysing it is easy to choose
the inlet and outlet.
 Right click on the Mesh tool to generate mesh.
 Mesh will be created.
 Close meshing in from the file menu.
 Right click to the mesh menu and click update to see the green
mark on the right side of it
 Double click on the setup to open the update to see the green
mark on the right side of it.
 Double click on the setup to open the fluent start window
 Then click OK.
 The fluent window will be opened.
 Click on the general then mesh and check it.
 Click on the model in solutions setup and right click on models and
then click OK.
 Select the boundary conditions and select zone outlet and select
Pressure Outlet in type menu.
 Select Reference values and open the drop-down menu from
compute from option and select inlet and select the reference
zone.
 Open solution initialization and select hybrid initialization and
select the initialize option.
 Go to Run calculation in the left and in the number of iterations
enter the value “500” and click the calculation option.
 The software will solve the solution and those solution converged
appears in the Text user interfere column and the solution
converged popup will come in the screen.
 Open graphics and animation option and select contours and
double click the option.
 In the contour popup box, select the filled in the option column
and select interior solid in the surface.
 Click display in the contour option so that get the pressure
contour.
 Click on the contour map option and click general in type of
number format option.
 Click on the pressure below the “contours of” select velocity to
display the velocity contour and click the display option.
 Click on the drop down the new surface menu and select plane
option.
 To insert the animation for the moving particles of fluid, there is
an option animation. click that option and click the necessary
streamline and contour to include the animation with required
speed and number of particles

GEOMETRY
MESH
Meshing is defined as making the entire design into meshes in order
to obtain the outputs in small components and then integrate it into
larger components to obtain the results and outputs.

SETUP
ITERATION

VELOCITY ANALYSIS:
The velocity analysis is implemented by selecting the stream line and
the particular contour. The velocity analysis is analysis which
indicates the velocity of the fluid that flows within the structure with
respect to time and distance, which ultimately provides us the flow
rate. The velocity analysis can be done for either along the stream
line motion or on the walls of the structure such as in pressure
contour. Velocity analysis provides us the information which is
significant for the construction of the design and there analysis.

VOLUME RENDERING

In scientific visualization and computer graphics, volume rendering is

a set of techniques used to display a 2D projection of a 3D
discretely sampled data set, typically a 3D scalar field. Here volume
rendering is done in order to obtain physical analysis of the design.
Volume rendering tells us about the volume distribution among the
design through various temperature and through various pressures
in the form of varying colours from red to blue if volume is
decreasing respectively.

PRESSURE ANALYSIS
After the velocity analysis and volume rendering wwe can proceed to
pressure analysis. Here in this case pressure varies through out the
1000 iterations for various temperatures and area of the design.
Generally pressure analysis is vety important for designing a
structure, because it gives the ultimate requirement of the structure,
the stability, strength and the reliability of any structure.

RESULT
The analysis are done for the double tee joint where the water flows
in through two inlets and output is obtained at the other two outlets.
Finally the results are obtained for various inputs.
