The discussion revolves around the definitions and implications of specific terms used in Polyflow, a computational fluid dynamics program. Participants seek clarification on the concepts of "plane of symmetry," "zero velocity wall," and "free surface," exploring their meanings and applications in fluid dynamics.
Participants generally agree on the definitions provided for the terms discussed, but there is no consensus on deeper implications or applications of these concepts in Polyflow.
Some definitions may depend on specific contexts within fluid dynamics, and the implications of these terms in practical applications remain unexplored.

Moving to engineering, but this is pretty specific. It might be best to seek their official support.Baybora said:A computational fluid dynamics program
A free surface is a fluid surface that is not attached to a rigid wall. It's like the upper surface of the water in a glass of water.Baybora said:What is the "plane of symmetry", "zero velocity wall" and "free surface" terms which I have seen in Polyflow? It says in Vnormal=Fs=0 for plane of symmetry and Vnormal= Vs= 0 for zero velocity Wall. Now I get when Vs=Vn=0 it means that the wall isn't moving and it's in a static state but didnt get what others actually mean in linguistics?
Thanks from now
