Free Surface Model for Steady State Flow

January 25, 2006, 19:05

Hi, CFD folks!

I have a laminar Newtonian fluid flow in an open channel. The flow is in steady state, I used to solve such kind of problem using transient solving to reach a steady state (after certain time steps) for the purpose to predict the free surface location.

A friend of mine mentioned that there is a solving method does not require time marching (but do remesh the domain), is this true or my friend passed me a misleading information?

Are you using a VOF method ? and which one exactly ?

i want to model the state diagram pls help me
