# Midas FEA CFD Analysis
|
|
|
|
## Definition
|
|
|
|
Midas FEA CFD analysis is the manual's computational fluid dynamics workflow for wind-loading and aerodynamic response of civil structural sections, especially bridge-like two-dimensional sections.
|
|
|
|
## How It Works
|
|
|
|
The manual describes a structured two-dimensional mesh, compressible viscous Navier-Stokes equations, Favre-averaged RANS equations, two-equation turbulence models, density-based time marching, and finite-volume spatial discretization.
|
|
|
|
Boundary conditions include far-field, solid wall, and symmetry conditions. Turbulence options include q-omega and k-omega SST/BSL type models. Numerical ingredients include local preconditioning for low-speed flow, Roe numerical flux, entropy correction, MUSCL extrapolation, limiters, steady AF-ADI, and unsteady dual time integration.
|
|
|
|
Outputs include velocity, pressure, vorticity, turbulent viscosity or turbulence ratios, turbulent energy or intensity, and aerodynamic coefficients such as lift, drag, and moment.
|
|
|
|
## Solver Development Notes
|
|
|
|
- This CFD chapter is a useful multiphysics boundary reference, but it is not part of a minimal structural FE solver core.
|
|
- For a custom structural solver roadmap, treat CFD as an external reference or later coupling target after structural elements, materials, dynamics, and contact are stable.
|
|
- If implemented, use a proven finite-volume or CFD library for the flow solver rather than folding it into the structural element assembly path.
|
|
|
|
## Connections
|
|
|
|
- [[Finite Element Heat Transfer and Field Problems]] captures the broader field-problem theme.
|
|
- [[Abaqus Fluid Acoustic Eulerian and Particle Elements]] and [[Abaqus Eulerian and Particle Methods]] are related production references, though they are not the same CFD formulation.
