"Frozen" velocity field. Robin?

October 28, 2003, 07:05

Hi!

Can someone tell me what happens in the solver when the expert parameter "solve fluids" is set to f? The hydrodynamic equations are not solved, I know that much. I also understand that this means that only the velocity field is frozen, the temperatures in the fluid are still changing. But how does CFX calculate viscosity in the fluid? Using Sutherland's formula? And density, does that change?

Would be grateful for answers...
