      Good Evening to everyone and nice to meet you. My name is Giuseppe, from italy.

      I'm an industrial engineering student and I'm still a begineer with Ansys.
      I have a general question, I couldn't find this information in the official guidelines.
      What algorithm is used on Ansys CFX to solve incompressible Navier-Stokes equations? [e.g simple, simplec, piso, pimple, etc.]
      I was unable to find out in the official guidelines.

      Thanks in Advance. 

      Best regards ????

      Hi Giuseppe,

      CFX uses a coupled solver. For Pressure-Velocity Coupling, CFX uses the Rhie-Chow algorithm.
