Abstract
This paper contains a comparison of the results from three different C FD codes. The problem considered is that of a laminar jet of fluid inj ected into a tank of fluid at rest. The codes used in the comparison a re: (a) the CHYMES multiphase flow model, (b) the FEAT finite element code, and (c) the Harwell-FLOW3D finite volume code. The results show good agreement between the models. In addition the various features of the different codes are used to examine the sensitivity of the proble m to the assumed boundary conditions and solution parameters.
