About Gravity in a Flow Simulation

You can include gravitational effects in the fluid physics of a simulation.

If you enable gravity and thermal effects, you can activate the Boussinesq approximation to simulate natural convection cases. In these cases, the pressure does not include any hydrostatic component. By default, the app applies gravity in the global Z-direction, but you can specify gravity in any global direction.
