ITB / Service Portfolio / Flow analysis / Transient flow analysis Transient flow analysis The transient computation is used for tasks in fluid mechanics, where a temporally uniform flow does not occur or the formation process of this flow is relevant. The simulation is time-resolved and thus allows a precise analysis of the flow data.…
ITB / Service Portfolio / Flow analysis / Steady-state flow analysis Steady-state flow analysis Steady-state analysis is used for tasks in fluid mechanics where the flow is uniform in time. For economic reasons, it is attempted to neglect non-significant fluctuations or, if possible, to calculate non-steady flow with quasi-static methods. The results can be further…
