Fluid Flow Analysis Types: Steady Fluid Flow with Turbulence

Steady Fluid Flow with Turbulence

Steady fluid flow analysis provides for the simulation of incompressible, viscous flows as governed by the Navier-Stokes equations. It can be used to analyze flows that have reached a steady condition.

This type of analysis supports both 2-D and 3-D flows.

Turbulence capabilities enable the prediction of turbulent flow (large changes in velocity over small distances) and laminar flow (smooth, gradual changes in velocity distribution) at the same time in the same model.
