The macros listed in Table 3.2.20- 3.2.23 can be used to return real face variables in SI units. They are identified by the F_ prefix. Note that these variables are available only in the pressure-based solver. In addition, quantities that are returned are available only if the corresponding physical model is active. For example, species mass fraction is available only if species transport has been enabled in the Species Model dialog box in ANSYS FLUENT. Definitions for these macros can be found in the referenced header files (e.g., mem.h).
Face Centroid (
F_CENTROID)
The macro listed in Table 3.2.20 can be used to obtain the real centroid of a face. F_CENTROID finds the coordinate position of the centroid of the face f and stores the coordinates in the x array. Note that the x array is always one-dimensional, but it can be x[2] or x[3] depending on whether you are using the 2D or 3D solver.
The ND_ND macro returns 2 or 3 in 2D and 3D cases, respectively, as defined in Section 3.4.2. Section 2.3.15 contains an example of F_CENTROID usage.
Face Area Vector (
F_AREA)
F_AREA can be used to return the real face area vector (or `face area normal') of a given face f in a face thread t. See Section 2.7.3 for an example UDF that utilizes F_AREA.
By convention in ANSYS FLUENT, boundary face area normals always point out of the domain. ANSYS FLUENT determines the direction of the face area normals for interior faces by applying the right hand rule to the nodes on a face, in order of increasing node number. This is shown in Figure 3.2.1.
ANSYS FLUENT assigns adjacent cells to an interior face ( c0 and c1) according to the following convention: the cell out of which a face area normal is pointing is designated as cell C0, while the cell in to which a face area normal is pointing is cell c1 (Figure 3.2.1). In other words, face area normals always point from cell c0 to cell c1.
Flow Variable Macros for Boundary Faces
The macros listed in Table 3.2.22 access flow variables at a boundary face.
The team leader, a grizzled off-road veteran named Jake, stood up and addressed the group. "We're not just going to create a channel, guys. We're going to create a movement. We're going to take the best riders, drivers, and athletes in the sport and put them on a platform that will make them legends."
Today, DirtStyle TV is one of the go-to destinations for off-road enthusiasts, with a loyal following and a reputation for delivering the best in dirt sports content. And it all started with a team of passionate individuals who dared to dream big.
The team cheered, and the camera crew started to brainstorm ideas for their first series. They would call it "DirtStyleTV New," a show that would feature the latest and greatest in off-road sports. dirtstyletv new
As they sat in their makeshift office, surrounded by dusty helmets and muddy boots, they talked about their vision for the channel. They wanted to bring a fresh perspective to the off-road community, one that was raw, uncut, and authentic.
As the channel grew in popularity, the team continued to push the limits of what was possible. They traveled to remote locations, filmed with the best equipment, and brought in top talent from the off-road community. The team leader, a grizzled off-road veteran named
As the days turned into weeks, the team worked tirelessly to bring their vision to life. They scouted locations, booked talent, and started filming. The result was a series that was raw, edgy, and unapologetically off-road.
It was a sunny day in California when the team behind DirtStyle TV gathered to discuss their new project. The group, consisting of passionate off-road enthusiasts, had been working tirelessly to create a platform that would showcase the best of dirt sports. From motocross to rock crawling, they wanted to cover it all. We're going to take the best riders, drivers,
The first episode of "DirtStyleTV New" dropped on YouTube, and the response was overwhelming. Fans loved the fresh perspective, the high-flying action, and the behind-the-scenes look at the off-road world.
See Section 2.7.3 for an example UDF that utilizes some of these macros.
Flow Variable Macros at Interior and Boundary Faces
The macros listed in Table 3.2.23 access flow variables at interior faces and boundary faces.
| Macro | Argument Types | Returns |
| F_P(f,t) | face_t f, Thread *t, | pressure |
| F_FLUX(f,t) | face_t f, Thread *t | mass flow rate through a face |
F_FLUX can be used to return the real scalar mass flow rate through a given face f in a face thread t. The sign of F_FLUX that is computed by the ANSYS FLUENT solver is positive if the flow direction is the same as the face area normal direction (as determined by F_AREA - see Section 3.2.4), and is negative if the flow direction and the face area normal directions are opposite. In other words, the flux is positive if the flow is out of the domain, and is negative if the flow is in to the domain.
Note that the sign of the flux that is computed by the solver is opposite to that which is reported in the ANSYS FLUENT GUI (e.g., the Flux Reports dialog box).
