Immersed solid method- Modified forcing CFX
 

Hello,

I am using Immersed solid method in CFX to simulate a fish. I wanted to know which method is actually used by CFX as immersed boundary method. Discrete forcing or continuous forcing approach?

Best regards

After looking up wikipedia to work out what discrete forcing and continuous forcing means (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immersed_boundary_method) I think you will find CFX uses the continuous forcing approach as the interaction is applied as a source term, which means it is applied to the fundamental equations. Hopefully I have understood the distinction correctly.

Dear Sir,

Thank you for the clarification.

Best regards
