Chapter 6 Practical Guidelines for CFD Simulation and Analysis

6.1 INTRODUCTION

The necessity to understand the physics of a flow problem in hand, the basis of the numerical methods employed to solve the governing equations and the means to obtain the most accurate and consistent results given the available computing resource, are some of the common challenges faced by the CFD user. This chapter is particularly written to address these common aspects of CFD and the aim is to provide some practical guidelines in carrying out a CFD simulation, solution assessment, and analysis.

In Chapter 2, grid generation was viewed as one of the key important considerations during the pre-process stage following the definition of computational domain geometry. ...
