Abstract : The modeling of fluid flow using an orifice meter is an engineering endeavor aimed at thoroughly investigating and optimizing fluid flow measurement in various industrial applications. Orifice meters are highly regarded for their accurate measurement of fluid flow rates as they pass through a specifically designed orifice plate, utilizing the principles of fluid dynamics. The primary objective of this project is to develop a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model capable of simulating the intricate fluid flow through an orifice meter. The simulation encompasses detailed geometric features of the orifice meter, including the precise dimensions of the orifice plate, pipe diameter, and any relevant taper angles. Additionally, the model takes into account various fluid parameters, boundary conditions, and factors such as velocity and pressure at different points within the system. The comprehensive study visualizes and quantifies key fluid properties, such as velocity profiles, pressure differentials, and flow velocities, across the entire length of the orifice meter using CFD analysis. This in-depth analysis provides crucial insights into the dynamic performance of the orifice meter. The obtained information holds significant potential to revolutionize flow rate measurement accuracy, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness in diverse industries, including water management, chemical processing, and oil and gas. The project's methodology for simulating fluid flow through orifice meters can bring about substantial improvements in the understanding and optimization of fluid flow in industrial processes.
