Computational Fluid Dynamics

Build fluid models without hiding the formulation or backend.

Configure incompressible, turbulent, thermal, compressible, and fluid-structure interaction workflows through the same geometry, mesh, condition, solver, result, and journal contract used across TorsoCAE.

Flow Models

Laminar through k-omega SST

Stokes, incompressible laminar flow, and RANS k-omega SST share explicit fluid properties and boundary conditions.

Coupling

Thermal transport and FSI

Conjugate heat transfer couples laminar flow and scalar thermal transport; FSI couples fluid and structural response.

Backends

DOLFINx and MFEM paths

Common laminar and SST paths support DOLFINx and MFEM, while compressible Euler currently uses MFEM.

Model Contract

Flow physics stays separate from numerical execution.

Fluid properties, boundary conditions, turbulence controls, and coupling intent describe the model. Backend, parallelism, algorithms, and tolerances describe how that model is executed.

CAD-bound flow conditions Wall or no-slip, inlet velocity, outlet pressure, and symmetry or slip conditions stay attached to CAD surfaces. Each generated mesh receives the corresponding boundary tags without rebuilding the flow setup.
SST turbulence state The k-omega SST path advances velocity, pressure, turbulent kinetic energy, specific dissipation rate, and eddy viscosity.
Compressible path MFEM provides the current compressible Euler formulation with far-field, inlet, and outlet boundary-condition support.
Post-processing Inspect velocity, pressure, turbulence, thermal, and coupled fields through the generic result and time-frame pipeline.

From fluid domain to resolved fields.

Each setup remains visible in the UI and reproducible through the generated journal.
