Solution Monitoring and Integral Reports
NeuralFlow provides surface integrals, flux balances, force/moment coefficients and point probes so users can judge both convergence and engineering performance. These quantities are not merely display features: they are the recommended way to verify conservation and to decide whether a residual-converged solution is also stable in the quantity of interest.
Surface fields and averages
For a surface
When a mass-weighted report is requested, the weighting is based on signed or directed carrier mass flow as appropriate to the report definition,
Surface fields include density, pressure, temperature, total pressure, total temperature, velocity, Mach number, vorticity magnitude, enthalpy/energy and turbulence quantities.
Flux reports
Carrier mass flow through a surface is
The dilute dispersed-phase counterpart is
Total wall/surface heat rate follows
In axisymmetric calculations the surface-integration path applies the corresponding rotational geometric weighting.
Forces, moments and coefficients
The pressure and viscous forces are
Moment about reference point
With dynamic pressure
The reported center of pressure is derived from the force/moment balance relative to the selected reference geometry.
Point probes and convergence monitoring
Point probes and iterative monitors provide local solution histories, residual evolution, time-step/CFL information and solver status. These diagnostics do not alter the governing residual; they sample or reduce the distributed solution state.
