Purpose

Select a laminar or turbulence-modelled fluid simulation.

Steps

1. Choose Laminar or Turbulent in Flow mode.

   

2. If Turbulent is selected, choose the turbulence Model and check wall treatment and boundary turbulence inputs.

Inputs and units

Input or value	Meaning	Units
Flow mode	Laminar or Turbulent.	No physical units

Limitations

• Choose the model based on the flow physics and required accuracy. A turbulence model does not explicitly resolve all turbulent fluctuations or guarantee an accurate transition prediction.
