Optimization of a periodic flow

safikhani_hamed · August 11, 2015, 10:17

Dear guys,
I am going to optimize a problem which has periodic boundary condition. Unfortunately because using periodic BC needs a manual setting it is not possible to be optimized using optimization module. Would you please help me to know if there is any way for automatic setting of periodic BC in fluent?

Regards

The boundary conditions can be specified through a TUI or a journal file just as any other boundary condition.

Can you describe more how you would perform the optimization and what is the issue? Why does the periodic boundary condition need a manual setting?
