How-to Guides

This section gathers practical guides on how to write a TrioCFD data file. They walk through the construction of a dataset for typical situations and give recommendations on the choices to make (mesh, physics, schemes, post-processing).

Usually it is easier to start from an existing test case (see the QuickStart), and the Keywords Reference Manual describes every keyword in detail.

• Define a Mesh
• Set Up a Stationary Case
• Stationary Case with Thermal Effects
• Set Up an Unsteady Case

Planned guides

The following topics were outlined in the previous documentation but not yet written. They are listed here so the intent is not lost:

• How to define the pressure solver
• How to define boundary conditions
• How to define initial conditions
• How to visualize results
• How to define time schemes for RANS k-ε modelling
• How to define convection schemes for RANS k-ε modelling
• What convection schemes are available
• What k-ε models are available
• What are the differences between the VDF mesh options
