Default 2D space computation domain

hello all,

recently, I've been confused about the 2D space type in fluent. In some fluent tutorials, the 2D computation domain of a cylindrical pipe is selected to be axisymmetric while in some other tutorials planar is selected for cylindrical pipe.

as far as I'm concerned, planar means infinitely big plane and a cylindrical pipe is definitely not a planar type, right?

can anybody help me to understand this?

thanks very much!
