SimScale allows its users to model advanced flow characteristics, like momentum sources or porous media, which would otherwise require sophisticated geometries or large meshes leading to expensive simulations. This modeling can be done using the Advanced concepts<\/strong> feature in the simulation tree: <\/p>\n\n\n

The options available for modeling depend on the chosen analysis type \u2014a general description of all advanced concepts can be found below. For a list of advanced concepts available for each analysis type, please check Table 1 of this documentation page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rotating Zones<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Rotating zones<\/em> can be used to model rotating systems such as turbines, fans, ventilators, and similar systems. Two types are available: MRF<\/em> (Multiple Reference Frame) and AMI<\/em> (Arbitrary Mesh Interface).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
