July 13, 2011, 04:40	Solving a Laplace equation for a scalar quantity	#1
ali hemmati New Member Ali Join Date: Mar 2011 Posts: 27 Rep Power: 15	Hello, I am trying to solve $\nabla^{2}\varphi=0$ , i.e. homogeneous Laplace equation, in which $\varphi$ is a scalar quantity and is described in a zone(2D or 3D). We know boundary values of $\varphi$ in borders of the zone. This problem is very analogous to head conduction at steady state, yet $\varphi$ is the electric potential here, not temperature. I am wondering how to implement this problem in FLUENT. I think I have to mesh the zone and use a udf or something like that. Thanks for your help.
