Software options for simulating oil flow in small diameter pipes [closed]

I'm looking for 1D software packages that can simulate flows of oil (lubricant) in pipes of a small diameter (typically between 1mm to 12mm in diameter) and have found around 10+ possible candidates, …

Determine Cp of an oil from density and temperature?

I suspect I know the answer to this, but hoping someone may know something I don't here. Is there a way I can determine the specific heat capacity at constant pressure (Cp) of an oil if I know the de …

Equivalent Lengths of Pipe for Laminar Flows

I have a pipe network with laminar flow (peak output from the pump gives a Reynolds number around 1100). I have some test data for the network and the results are really odd to me; I cannot explain …

Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) Vs. Large Eddy Simulation (LES) for Gearboxes

In the not too distant future I will be looking to simulate lubricant oil flows in a gear box, with rotating gears located in a bath of oil. I will be looking at the distributions at various angles of …

Losses through holes drilled in a pipe

I asked a previous question about pipe t-junctions with pipes of varying diameters, and it got me wondering... How are losses handled and calculated in pipes with holes drilled directly into them? F …
