The physics within Watlab

• Governing equations
• Available solvers
• Existing modules

Examples

• A comprehensive example
  • All you need is GMSH!
    • Set up the geometry of the domain
      • 1. Six points correspond to the nodes of the domain (one at each corner, two in the middle to create the separation line).
      • 2. Seven edges join thoses points: six for the contour, one for the separation
      • 3. Two curve loops delimit the zones
      • 4. Two plane surface represent the zones
    • Set up the model
    • Let the magic play!
  • Watlab helps you master the model
  • Visualise the outputs thanks to Watlab
