What is Flow Network Modeling?
Flow systems are like electrical circuits.
Just as a voltage drop drives a current, a pressure drop creates fluid flow.
The flow distribution through different flow paths depends upon their flow resistances.
A flow system can be represented as a network of flow resistances. This approach is called Flow Network Modeling (FNM).

FNM of Complex Flow Systems
A network model of the flow system is constructed by identifying flow paths through filters, screens, bends, tees, blowers/pumps, valves, orifices, etc.
The flow resistance relationships can be obtained from handbooks, vendor specs, in-house testing, or CFD analysis.
The flow rates, pressures, and temperatures throughout the system are calculated by solving mass, momentum, and energy equations.

Advantages of the FNM Technique
FNM is simple, fast, and accurate
Simple because it is modular and object-oriented
Fast because it uses overall characteristics
Accurate because characteristics are empirically determined

Limitations of FNM
The flow system must be described in terms of identifiable flow paths with definable resistance characteristics.
FNM provides gross (rather than detailed) predictions: FNM solution does not give local velocity vectors, flow separation, reattachment,
etc. Detailed temperature distributions, local heat fluxes, etc. are not calculated.
Accurate resistance correlations are needed for reliable prediction.

Complementary Nature of FNM and CFD
FNM allows focused and efficient use of CFD Examine hundreds of design alternatives by FNM (Conceptual Design) and select a few
promising designs for CFD analysis (Detailed Design). Use FNM for an entire system and provide boundary conditions for the CFD analysis of
a subsystem.
Use of CFD at the component level for determining the flow resistances enhances the accuracy of the to the FNM technique.

Modified Bernoulli’s Equation
For constant density and no gravity head:
p1 + V12/2 =
p2 + V22/2 + Losses
The losses are due to viscous forces, flow separation, expansion/contraction, bends, etc.
Losses = K(V2/2) where K is the loss coefficient.
Thus, P = P1 - P2 = K(V2/2)

Flow Resistance
P = P1 - P2 = K(V2/2)
Q = VA
P = K( Q2) / (2A2)Flow resistance:
P /Q = (K Q) / (2A2) (nonlinear) The values of K are available for screens, orifices, bends,
expansion/contraction, T-junctions, etc. For electronics cooling, the K values are needed for card arrays, heat
sinks, power supplies, etc.

f = p (D/L) / (V2/2)
Thus, K = f L/D

Flow Induced by Fans Whereas flow resistances cause a drop in pressure, a fan creates a rise
in pressure. The pressure rise p produced by a fan depends on the flow rate Q. This relationship is expressed by the fan performance curve.

System Operating Point
What flow rate we get is determined by the intersection of the system resistance and fan performance curves.
If the resulting Q is not acceptable, you reduce the system resistance, choose a different fan, or use multiple fans in series or parallel.

Solve the flow equations to get the flow rates through individual components.
For a known heat load in a component: Calculate the exit fluid temperature as:
Tout = Tin + (q / mcp ) Use a suitable correlation to get the heat transfer coefficient h for the
calculated flow rate. Then calculate Twall from:
(Twall -Tout) / (Twall -Tin) = exp (- hA /mcp )

For heat loss from the fluid within a component to the ambient fluid: Calculate the overall heat transfer coefficient U as: U = [(1/hinside) + (L/k)wall
+ (1/houtside)]-1
Obtain the exit fluid temperature from:
Tout - Tamb = (Tin - Tamb) exp (- UA / mcp ) Get the heat loss as:
q = mcp (Tout - Tin)

FNM for System Design
FNM empowers the design engineer to visualize the flow behavior of the entire system to predict system-wide effects of a design change to identify performance-limiting components to quickly evaluate different physical layouts to explore many available design options to perform “what-if” studies to avoid costly design changes later in the cycle to meet tight design schedules

Exhaust System – Design Cycle
MacroFlow-based analysis indicated regions of system with large pressure losses.
CFD analysis was used to optimize the local geometry (e.g. gradual expansion instead of a sudden expansion) and to determine the flow characteristics for use in MacroFlow.
The final design met the stipulated backpressure requirements. MacroFlow enabled scientific analysis during the design process and
resulted in an order-of-magnitude reduction in the associated costs.
