What is the difference between tlcd and mrtlcd in its formulation?

when we use equivalent linearization technique , we are putting the damping ratio part of tlcd/mrtlcd as Sid.. since the damping ratio(Sid) can range only from 1-100%, for a particular frequency...

Why are the velocities so high in my Boussinesq approximation Fluent simulation?

Hello, I have a mechanism where air rises due to convective flows. In this simulation, nothing is driving the air except this. I understand that the Boussinesq approximation only works for small...

What is the characteristic length to determine the Reynolds number for the scattered turbulent fluid flow?

Dear all, I just saw this example in FB on the difference between laminar flow and turbulent flow. The flow from a pipe hits the sink and scattered. The flow from the pipe is characterized as...

Is there a deep reason for using the squared modulus of the wave function as the probability density of the existence of the particle?

I think we were all surprised at the first time we got to know quantum mechanics that the squared modulus of the wave function is the probability density of the existence of the particle? The role...

How do you mesh a thin solid in Fluent?

Hello, I have used the shell function on SpaceClaim to create thin solids for the model I am studying. These are contained within an enclosure for my study. I chose this approach as it avoids the...

No streamlines present in a small region inside a flow. This means exactly what?

No streamlines present means whether the flow is getting obstructed there and the velocity inside the region is zero? Or else, the fluid is trapped inside that region with a nonzero velocity?...
