Hello everyone,

i am newbie to ansys fluent. In the setup under boundaries, i came across 2 different type of boundary types named "Symmetrics" and "Periodics".

What is difference between these 2 types of boundary types?

Thanks in advance.


Regards,
RAJDEEP

Symmetry implies mirror image while periodicity implies repetition after a spatial distance, could be linear or angular distance.
