The macros listed in Table 3.2.20- 3.2.23 can be used to return real face variables in SI units. They are identified by the F_ prefix. Note that these variables are available only in the pressure-based solver. In addition, quantities that are returned are available only if the corresponding physical model is active. For example, species mass fraction is available only if species transport has been enabled in the Species Model dialog box in ANSYS FLUENT. Definitions for these macros can be found in the referenced header files (e.g., mem.h).
Face Centroid (
F_CENTROID)
The macro listed in Table 3.2.20 can be used to obtain the real centroid of a face. F_CENTROID finds the coordinate position of the centroid of the face f and stores the coordinates in the x array. Note that the x array is always one-dimensional, but it can be x[2] or x[3] depending on whether you are using the 2D or 3D solver.
The ND_ND macro returns 2 or 3 in 2D and 3D cases, respectively, as defined in Section 3.4.2. Section 2.3.15 contains an example of F_CENTROID usage.
Face Area Vector (
F_AREA)
F_AREA can be used to return the real face area vector (or `face area normal') of a given face f in a face thread t. See Section 2.7.3 for an example UDF that utilizes F_AREA.
By convention in ANSYS FLUENT, boundary face area normals always point out of the domain. ANSYS FLUENT determines the direction of the face area normals for interior faces by applying the right hand rule to the nodes on a face, in order of increasing node number. This is shown in Figure 3.2.1.
ANSYS FLUENT assigns adjacent cells to an interior face ( c0 and c1) according to the following convention: the cell out of which a face area normal is pointing is designated as cell C0, while the cell in to which a face area normal is pointing is cell c1 (Figure 3.2.1). In other words, face area normals always point from cell c0 to cell c1.
Flow Variable Macros for Boundary Faces
The macros listed in Table 3.2.22 access flow variables at a boundary face.
: Digital tools ensure that checklists and manuals are always current, automatically updating the "List of Effective Pages" to meet regulatory requirements. SKYbrary Aviation Safety Essential Study & Training Content
But with the shift from paper libraries to Electronic Flight Bags (EFBs), one question dominates flight deck discussions:
In the high-stakes environment of modern aviation, information access speed is not just a metric—it is a safety variable. For pilots transitioning to, or currently operating, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, the Quick Reference Handbook (QRH) is the most critical secondary interface in the cockpit.
: For critical emergencies (like aborted engine starts or dual engine failure), the QRH includes specific "memory items"—short, memorized procedures that pilots can execute immediately before consulting the full PDF or ECL. Benefits of the PDF Format boeing 787 qrh pdf work best
This contains the essential data for landing with "non-normal" configurations, such as flap failures or engine-out scenarios. How to Make the PDF Work Best
The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is a highly digital aircraft, and while paper checklists are still carried, the PDF version of the Quick Reference Handbook (QRH) is widely used by pilots on Electronic Flight Bags (EFBs) for both study and line operations.

System Integration: Cross-Referencing the QRH with the 787 ECL
: The 787's Block Point Five (BP5) EFB is designed to store detailed documents and databases, providing a high-speed interface for accessing the QRH during all phases of flight. Key Procedural Differences: 787 vs. 737 : Digital tools ensure that checklists and manuals
The Boeing 787 Quick Reference Handbook (QRH) is a critical cockpit tool. It provides flight crews with checklists for normal and non-normal procedures. To make the digital PDF version work best in high-pressure situations, pilots must optimize its format, navigation features, and software settings. Why the QRH Layout Demands Optimization
Unlike older "steam gauge" aircraft, the 787 QRH interacts closely with the airplane's ECL (Electronic Checklist). This guide covers how to get the most out of the static PDF version.
Stop flipping through virtual pages as if they were paper. Optimize your PDF today. In the critical moment where seconds separate a successful NNC from a hull loss, the vector QRH PDF on your glass cockpit’s glass screen is your ultimate tool. : For critical emergencies (like aborted engine starts
Be extremely cautious downloading PDFs claiming to be the "Full Boeing 787 QRH" from unverified file-sharing sites. These are often vectors for malware.
See Section 2.7.3 for an example UDF that utilizes some of these macros.
Flow Variable Macros at Interior and Boundary Faces
The macros listed in Table 3.2.23 access flow variables at interior faces and boundary faces.
F_FLUX can be used to return the real scalar mass flow rate through a given face f in a face thread t. The sign of F_FLUX that is computed by the ANSYS FLUENT solver is positive if the flow direction is the same as the face area normal direction (as determined by F_AREA - see Section 3.2.4), and is negative if the flow direction and the face area normal directions are opposite. In other words, the flux is positive if the flow is out of the domain, and is negative if the flow is in to the domain.
Note that the sign of the flux that is computed by the solver is opposite to that which is reported in the ANSYS FLUENT GUI (e.g., the Flux Reports dialog box).
