Setting Surface Tension in TUI

cwl6750084 · November 7, 2015, 12:49

Does anyone know how can I set the surface tension in the journal file for VOF calculation in FLUENT? I tried searching on the internet (for hours) and found this: solve/set/surface-tension, but it seems that it is setting the numerical solver and not the value of surface tension. Any ideas? Thx.

It's best to learn for yourself how the TUI works.

Check the Fluent manual for a list of all TUI commands. Or press enter into the TUI and you'll get a list of currently available commands. The TUI commands are very similar to the steps you go through in the GUI.

Thank you for the advice. I usually only use TUI to change one or two parameters, such that I do not have to use the GUI to create a new case file everytime. However, I could not find a command for surface tension. When I searched the manual in my office, the only one that came up was solve/set/surface-tension. This one does not do what I needed. I was wondering if there is a TUI command to modify the value of surface tension.
