Abstract :
Virtual visualization of fluid flow in pipeline system is a valid method of drilling new workers to learn process in chemical engineering, pharmacy, and aeronautics etc. In order to realize it, ideas of simplifying typical pipeline system made up of pipelines, pumps, and valves etc. are discussed, and boundary conditions of fluid including low viscosity and laminar flow are confirmed. Based on Ronge-kutta, numerical algorithms are derived from mathematical models of fluid constant flow and instant flow in pipeline system. It can compute various parameters for the virtual visualization of fluid flow including flow speeds, flux, and pressure in any position of pipeline system at any time. By contrasting the simulation data computed according to the algorithms with the data processing, the numerical algorithms are testified to be proper.
