Hi,
I want to know if when I set the turbulence model to laminar CFX will solve exactly the Navier Stokes Equations. CFX user guide says: "Laminar flow is governed by the unsteady Navier-Stokes equation. The laminar option does not apply a turbulence model to the simulation and is only appropriate if the flow is laminar" So, the fact thar it doesn't apply a turbulence model means that the equation that is solved is the NSE? It seems true, but could be false I think. What I want to simulate is a Mixing Layer. I will start with a tangent hyperbolic profile and analyse its development until it gets turbulent, so I have a laminar flow. I want to know what CFX does solve for this case. Thanks |
