Formulations#
Attention
This section is under development and does not yet cover every Flow360 formulation. Pages will be added over time.
Flow360 is a Navier-Stokes solver that offers a range of models to describe the physical domain and to represent phenomena such as turbulence, heat transfer, and flow resistance. This section documents the formulations behind those models: the equations they add to the solver and, where useful, how to choose their inputs.
The pages are organised by category. Those available so far are linked below.
Surface models (boundary conditions)#
Prescribe the flow behaviour at the surfaces that bound the domain, such as walls, freestream, inflow, outflow, periodic, symmetry, and interfaces.
Pages coming soon.
Volume models#
Act over volumetric regions of the domain, such as the fluid and turbulence models, solid heat transfer, rotation, actuator and BET disks, and porous media.
Other quantities#
Supporting quantities that are not models in themselves, such as the turbulence quantities used to set turbulence boundary conditions.
Pages coming soon.
