Abstract

A strong attempt is made to provide practical guidelines for CFD meshes. Dozens of mesh metrics are described in detail, and a mathematically-driven, physics-based set of “golden” mesh metrics is recommended. General CFD boundary and initial conditions are described, including boundary compatibility. Time step, stability, domain, and calculation speed-up guidelines are provided. Detailed guidelines for modeling laminar and turbulent natural circulation are discussed. The chapter concludes with dozens of data visualization recommendations for generating figures, movies, and other presentation media, with the goal of more effectively conveying the CFD results.
