In this thread, I have discussed different issues in meshing and geomtry importe related to radial turbochinary. Geomtry and blocking is also posted here. Feel free to use geomtry and blocking and let me know if you have any diffciultly to handle these type of geometries.

Comparison CFD mesh software GAMBIT with ANSYS MESH

Posted May 31, 2012 at 00:35 by Guava Wang

Some experiences using GAMBIT and ANSYS MESH shares with you guys.In the last five years, I use GAMBIT for meshing model. After ANSYS being merged FLUENT into workbench, GAMBIT isn't included in this product, and it is substituted for ANSYS MESH.
The main differences are as below.
1. model process. GAMBIT can include interior zone by spliting body with surface, and that can also be set as wall.
2.mesh process. ansys mesh can automatically meshed the models...

how the energy equation implemented in FLUENT

It still not instantly switching to the new temperature, as you still have some sort of a time constant but you can make it very very small.
What you choose as a time constant will be where it starts approaching your temperature, so you could choose 1sec or 10^-whatever

Set (Initial) Internal Fields Using #codeStream

Posted April 23, 2012 at 14:55 by Hisham (Notes for OpenFOAM!)

Tags codestream, field, initial, internal, openfoam

To set up (initial) internal fields of variables according to an expression, one can use the #codeStream feature as:

Code:

internalField  #codeStream
{
    code
    #{
        const IOdictionary& d = static_cast<const IOdictionary&>(dict);
        const fvMesh& mesh = refCast<const fvMesh>(d.db());
        scalarField fld(mesh.nCells(), 12.34);// uniform value of the field as 12.34 or just fld(mesh.nCells())

...
