CFX 5.5 V5.5.1H © 2001AEA Technology 2-1 Completing a CFD Simulation Using CFX-5
CFX! CFX-5 Modeling Approach Create a solid which defines the region of interest Define the fluid domain in terms of flow region, physical models, and fluid properties Apply boundary conditions to fluid domain surfaces Specify an initial guess/condition for the simulation Create a mesh for the fluid domain Set the solver parameters which will be used by the solver Write a definition file containing the model information. This includes mesh information, physical properties, boundary conditions, etc Use the solver manager to run the solver and monitor the solution View the results with cfX-post This approach will be followed in the practical sessions.
