2019R2 Fluent PDF

The Fluent 2019 R2 release focuses on improvements to stability, meshing, discrete phase modeling, reacting flow, and postprocessing. It introduces a few new capabilities like a fault tolerant meshing workflow and coupled CFD/electromagnetics modeling of electric machines. The release also features consolidated command line options for running Fluent on load managers and greater control of graphics acceleration on Linux systems.

Fluent 2019 R2

What’s New?

1
Fluent 2019 R2 Development
• The Fluent 2019 R2 release is focused primarily on quality
improvements and defect fixes in a number of areas including:
‐ General code stability
‐ Meshing
‐ Discrete Phase Model
‐ Reacting Flow
‐ Postprocessing / Graphics

• A select few new capabilities have also been introduced as


detailed on the following slides.
• Users who experienced issues in 2019 R1 are encouraged to
install 2019 R2.
• Please refer to the Release Notes and Resolve Issues and
Limitations documents for more details.
Fault Tolerant Meshing Workflow
• Streamlined wrapper-based
workflow to create high-quality
meshes from CAD which may
have issues such as:
‐ Holes
‐ Missing or extraneous surfaces
‐ Intersecting surfaces
• Simple workflow tasks to define
‐ leakage detection / wrapping
‐ porous regions (e.g. Heat Exchangers)
‐ rotating reference frames (e.g.
Wheels/tires/fans)
‐ off-body wake refinement

3
Coupled CFD / Electro-Magnetics for Electric Machines
• Use System Coupling to evaluate performance of electric machines with
temperature dependent Emag properties
3D steady or transient Fluent
System Coupling
2D transient Maxwell
Time averaged losses (in AEDT)
Temperature
(Magnets)

Loss
(Rotor, Stator, Magnets)

Running Fluent on Load Managers: New Command Line Options
• Consolidated options to use fluent command to submit to PBS, LSF, or SGE/UGE
New command line option Function Replaces
-scheduler={lsf | pbs | sge} Specifies target load manager -lsf, -pbs, -sge
-scheduler_queue=<queue> Specifies queue to submit to -sgeq
-scheduler_pe=<pe> Specifies parallel environment to use -sgepe
-scheduler_opt=<option string> Pass options to the load manager. (Can -sgeckpt
use multiple times for multiple options)
• Example:
2019 R1:
bsub -a fluent -k " /home/username 60" fluent 3d -g -i journal_file -lsf

2019 R2:
fluent 3d -g -i journal_file -scheduler=lsf -scheduler_opt='-k " /home/username 60"' -
scheduler_opt='-a fluent’

• Previous Load Manager-specific options are deprecated


‐ Usage in existing scripts will continue to work, but will not be maintained
‐ Users are encouraged to migrate to the new options
5
Greater Control for Accelerated Graphics on Linux Load Managers
• User experience in interactive sessions is greatly enhanced when the Graphical
User Interface (GUI) has access to an appropriate GPU
• On load-managed Linux systems this can require additional control to ensure the
GUI has access to a GPU
• New option –gui_machine= to tell Fluent on which machine to run the GUI

Example: Start Fluent on 280 nodes on UGE queue medqueue using parallel
environment mpi_pe with the GUI on a GPU-equipped node viznode01
fluent 3ddp -t280 -nm -scheduler=sge -scheduler_queue=medqueue -scheduler_pe=mpe_pe \
-gui_machine=viznode01

Note: Can only be used with the new –scheduler= load manager options (not
supported with –sge, –lsf, –pbs)

6
Other Notable Enhancements

• System Coupling interfaces to Fluent can include multiple boundary or cell


zones in the interface definition
‐ Simplifies setup of System Coupling cases in which the same data exchange type takes place at
multiple locations in the model
‐ Enables arbitrary many-to-many zone mapping between Fluent and another participant (not
previously possible)
• Fluent Icing now exposes the option to use the Fensap flow solver as a Full
Feature (beta in 2019 R1)
