Table 4.
Principles and applicability of fluent solvers.
Solver categories | Methods | Principles | Applicability |
---|---|---|---|
Segregated | SIMPLE | Instead of solving the N-S equation directly, the momentum equation is modified by pressure. | Suitable for solving the compressible flow |
SIMPLEC | Suitable for solving the incompressible flow | ||
PISO | |||
Couple | Coupled | Simultaneously solving the N-S equations directly. | Suitable for solving the compressible flow |
