When to use sliding mesh and when to use mrf method in Ansys Fluent

Choosing between a Sliding Mesh and MRF (Multiple Reference Frame) in ANSYS Fluent depends on the complexity of your simulation and the accuracy you require.

Why choosing implicit method in VoF eulerian model is the best option ?

 Imagine you're a detective trying to track down a mischievous gas bubble hiding in a swirling liquid. In the world of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), that bubble is your friend, and you're the CFD model trying to predict its movement.

There are two main ways to approach this case: explicit and implicit methods.

How to model crack propagation in Ansys ?

 Ansys offers functionalities to model crack propagation through the Ansys Mechanical software and the SMART Crack Growth feature. Here's a general breakdown of the process:

1. Pre-Processing:

  • Geometry and Mesh: Define the geometry of your model in Ansys Workbench. Ansys Mechanical's Unstructured Mesh Method (UMM) can automatically generate a mesh suitable for crack simulations, reducing preprocessing time [Ansys white paper on SMART Crack Growth & Fracture Modeling].
  • Material Properties: Assign material properties to your model, including the fracture toughness which plays a critical role in crack growth behavior.

How to start with Ansys - the story :)

 Ah, Ansys, the engineering playground where you can virtually torture materials before they ever see the light of day (or a real, non-virtual hammer). Here's how to dive in without getting poked by digital shrapnel:
