介绍计算流体力学通用软件——Fluent

A brief introduction to Fluent—a general purpose CFD code

计算机软件是计算机知识的一种形式 ,计算流体力学通用软件是它在流体力学方面的一个积累 ,是前人留给后人的宝贵财富 ,我们应该充分利用。Fluent软件是流体力学中通用性较强的一份商品软件 ,它不但可以为工程设计服务 ,亦可为科学研究所用。本文用它分析了同心球壳间 Couette流动 ,算出了稳定的 Taylor涡族以及它们的分叉过程。

WT5”BZ]General purpose CFD codes belong to a kind of accumulation of knowledge in researching fluid mechanics and precious wealth left behind by forerunners, which should be cherished and sufficienty exploited. The Fluent cade is a commercial software with good universality. It can be used not only for engineering design, but also for scientific research. The paper gives a brief introduction to the Fluent cade. The use of the code was illustrated by the analysis of the Couette flow between two consentric spheres, for which the stable family of the Taylor vortices and their bifurcation process were computed.
