12.8.3. UNITS

The equations of state for a real gas are normally formulated in a particular unit system and, therefore, it is necessary to know the unit system being used for the RGP properties so that the CFX-Solver can automatically convert the properties to solution units. Five unit systems are available when using an .rgp file as follows:

  1. UNITS=1 (kg, m, s, K)

  2. UNITS=2 (g, cm, s, K)

  3. UNITS=3 (lbm, in, s, R)

  4. UNITS=4 (slugs, ft, s, R)

  5. UNITS=5 (slugs, in, s, R)

If desired, the solver solution units can be set to the same units as the .rgp file in CFX-Pre. For details, see Setting the Solution Units in the CFX-Pre User's Guide.
