ANSYS ADVANTAGE MAGAZINE By Ansys Advantage Staff Each year, thousands of people die as a result of aortic aneurysms — balloon-like bulges caused by weaknesses in the aortas, the large artery that sends blood from the heart through the vascular system. If an aneurysm remains undetected, the aorta can eventually tear Read more…
Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations Turbulence modeling is one of the main sources of uncertainty in CFD simulations of technical flows. This is not surprising, as turbulence is the most complex phenomenon in classical physics. Turbulent flows pose a multi-scale problem, where the dimension of the technical device is often of Read more…
P-value P-values are frequently misinterpreted, which causes many problems. But the fact remains that the p-value will continue to be one of the most frequently used tools for deciding if a result is statistically significant. You know the old saw about “Lies, damned lies, and statistics,” right? It rings true because statistics really Read more…
UDF A user-defined function, or UDF, is a C or C++ function that can be dynamically loaded with the ANSYS Fluent solver to enhance its standard features. For example, you can use a UDF to: Customize boundary conditions, material property definitions, surface and volume reaction rates, source terms in ANSYS Read more…
