39.2.1. Simulation Data

A short description of each of the Problem Type options is displayed in CFX-Pre.

 

39.2.1.1. Problem Type

Problem Type can be set to any of the following:

  • Single Phase

    Only one fluid is present in a single phase simulation, and it is usually a pure substance.

  • Multi-Component

    If this option is selected, the simulation is used to model the average properties of a mixture of chemical species.

  • Multi-Phase

    This option contains more than one fluid, each of which is modeled separately. In general, unlike multi-component simulations, the fluids are of different chemical species.
