Detailed Description

Transient solver for incompressible, laminar flow of Newtonian fluids.

Original source file icoFoam.C


Solver details The solver uses the PISO algorithm to solve the continuity equation:

\[ \div \vec{U} = 0 \]

and momentum equation:

\[ \ddt{\vec{U}} + \div \left( \vec{U} \vec{U} \right) - \div \left(\nu \grad \vec{U} \right) = - \grad p \]

Where:

\( \vec{U} \) = Velocity
\( p \) = Pressure


Required fields

U : Velocity [m/s]
p : Kinematic pressure, p/rho [m2/s2]
