Multi-purpose is a Finite Volume-based CFD solver with segregated pressure-velocity coupling using a proprietary variant of the SIMPLE\\(^1\\) algorithm. It provides the possibility to simulate both incompressible<\/strong> and compressible<\/strong> flow, either laminar<\/strong> or turbulent<\/strong> in a single framework. Turbulence is modeled using the RANS equations with the k-epsilon turbulence model for closure and proprietary wall functions for near wall treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n Multi-purpose supports steady-state<\/strong> as well as full transient<\/strong> analysis. In full transient analysis, the fluid flow is modeled in a time-accurate manner and any rotating component in the domain is solved using the sliding mesh approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Within SimScale, one can effortlessly set up a Multi-purpose simulation that involves the following steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n To create a Multi-purpose analysis, first, select the desired geometry and click on ‘Create Simulation’<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n Next, a window with a list of several analysis types supported in SimScale will be displayed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/i>Important<\/p>\n <\/div>\n Multi-purpose<\/em> is a specialized analysis type restricted to users with a paid plan. For more details please visit our product & pricing page<\/a> or contact sales. Choose Multi-purpose<\/em> analysis type and click on ‘Create Simulation’<\/strong>. This will lead to the SimScale Workbench with the following simulation tree and the respective settings:<\/p>\n\n\n To access the global settings, click on ‘Multi-purpose’<\/strong> in the simulation tree. The following parameters are available to define the fluid flow simulation<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"subsonic](\"https:\/\/frontend-assets.simscale.com\/media\/2021\/07\/subsonic-cartesian-1-e1626444296643.jpg\")
