Product Overview |
|
CFD2000 is an advanced, general-purpose
computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software system for
simulating a wide range of fluid flow and heat and mass
transfer problems including: |
|
 |
|
|
The CFD2000 system is exceptionally easy to learn/use, and can be quickly mastered by scientists and
engineers. CFD2000 is accessed with a state-of-the-art
Graphical User Interface (GUI) which provides full
control of all the program’s functions. The GUI menu
structure represents a logical progression through the
process of fluid flow simulation that is intuitive for
experienced CFD investigators and a convenient guide for
beginners. |
|
Based on an advanced 3D windowing scheme,
CFD2000’s intelligent GUI guides you through all
steps of a flow simulation. Using pull-down menus and a
combination of mouse and keyboard inputs, you can define
the flow model, control and monitor the progress of the
analysis, and examine the results. The software provides
intelligent default values and performs extensive error
checking on inputs. |

Fluid/Solid Properties |
|
Once the flow type, physical models, and dependent variables have been
specified in CFD2000, prescription of the fluid and/or any solid properties
are required. CFD2000 allows the following options: |
 |
|
 |
|
Boundary Conditions |
|
A boundary condition
specification consists of two elements: (1) the boundary condition type, and
(2) the location where it is applied. In CFD2000,
the following functions can be performed: |
 |
|
|
|
Boundary Condition
Types |
|
Boundary Condition |
Description |
|
Inlet |
specification how fluid enters domain
across a boundary surface |
|
Free Stream |
same as "inlet", except velocities are
defined in global coordinates |
|
Particle Inlet |
definition of what kind of particles
are used in two-phase flow models |
|
Outlet |
controls where and under what
conditions a fluid leaves domain |
|
Wall |
explicit specification of model
surfaces with no mass flux |
|
Blockage |
specification of solid volumes in
domain (can be thermally active) |
|
Porous Block |
models porous medium |
|
Source |
specification of a general source term
for transport equations |
|
Moving Mesh |
specification of moving domain
boundaries |
|
Body Force |
specification of magnitude/direction of
volumetric forces |
|
Cyclic |
specification of extreme planes that
are contiguous in physical space |
|
|
Solution Control |
|
CFD2000 provides tools for controlling
the solution procedure. |
