CFX-5 Numerical Method
• Finite volume method for hybrid grids
• Conservative, vertex-based discretization• Implicitly coupling of equations• Rhie/Chow pressure-velocity coupling• Algebraic multigrid• Scalable parallelization• Second order space and time discretization• Suitable for whole range of Mach- and Reynolds
numbers

SST model
k-ε model
SST model
• Variety of models– For different types of flow– With different
computational effort• Examples
– One-equation models (KE1E)
– Two-equation models (SST, k-eps)
– Reynolds stress models (LLR, SSG)
– DES / LES models

Shear-Stress Transport Model
• Optimized model for flow with separation and adverse pressure gradients
• Zonal model– k-omega model near the wall– k-epsilon model in freestream
• Blending dependent on solution• Additional limiter for turbulent viscosity • Automatic blending between• Wall treatment
– Logarithmic law on coarse grids– Low-Re formulation on fine grids

Fluid-Structure Interaction
• Simultaneous run of individual software – Using advanced and
validated features of participating codes
– Exchanging data at common boundaries or overlapping domains
• Simultaneous solution of multiple fields in single solver– Non-optimal software
for individual fields– Requirement for
common grid– Large problems
become computationally expensive
⇒ ANSYS / CFX code coupling
