Symmetry Question

Hi,
I'm currently working on 3D pipe flow problems, and, in order to reduce computation time, I've modelled this as a half pipe with a plane of symmetry. When reporting values such as pressure drop, should I have to double the value which Fluent reports to get meaningful numbers? Cheers, Rex |

Hi Rex,
You needn't do that.Just a piece of advice.Would it not be more efficient to model the case as an axisymmetric problem? Regards, sri |

Sri,
What are the differences when setting the BC to symmetry as opposed to axisymmetric? Rex |

Hi Rex,
Axisymmetric ==>2d model of a 3d problem. where as symmetry bc can be used either in 2d or in 3d. sri |
