Detailed Description

Transient solver for incompressible flow.

Original source file pisoFoam.C

Solver details
The solver uses the PISO algorithm to solve the continuity equation:

and momentum equation:

Where:

	=	Velocity
	=	Pressure
	=	Stress tensor

Sub-models include:

• turbulence modelling, i.e. laminar, RAS or LES
• run-time selectable MRF and finite volume options, e.g. explicit porosity

Required fields

U	:	Velocity [m/s]
p	:	Kinematic pressure, p/rho [m2/s2]
<turbulence fields>	:	As required by user selection
