1.2. Governing Equations

The set of equations solved by Ansys CFX are the unsteady Navier-Stokes equations in their conservation form.

If you are new to CFD, review Computational Fluid Dynamics in the CFX Introduction.

A list of recommended books on CFD and related subjects is available in Further Background Reading in the CFX Introduction.

For all the following equations, static (thermodynamic) quantities are given unless otherwise stated.
