How does COMSOL solve for low Mach number flows? What are the pre-conditioning techniques applied?

05 May 2015 1 2K Report

Hello all,

I am looking to model flow in a combustion chamber where the flow is compressible because of the temperature variations and not due to pressure. The Mach number

Fluent uses Weiss Preconditioning as can be seen in its Theory Manual. The manual for COMSOL seems to indicate it use incomprssible formulation, and nothing else.

Did you got your answer.
