Hello, this is my first post on the forum.
I'd appreciate it if you could answer the following questions.

 

「Heat equation」,「Law of the conservation of energy」,
or expression of 「Equation of continuity」 has been used in Acusolve?

 

What are the difference method in the AcuSolve?

 

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

 

Thanks.

    I am not sure I understand your question.

    Please check the AcuSolve-Command-Reference-Manual.pdf in /acusolve/win64/doc folder.

    Global Commands > Equations, has the necessary details.

    Hope that helps.

    AcuSolve is using a Finite Element Method for CFD - based on Galerkin Least Squares.  The discretization is second order.  For thermal calculations, AcuSolve is actually solving for conservation of enthalpy, after which temperatures are derived based on material properties.  But check the Command Reference Manual for more details.
