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.
When Netflix landed in Indonesia, the need to drive to a physical store to rent a plastic disc died overnight.

But what we miss is the . Algorithms suggest what you like based on data. The Kebioskop21 clerk suggested movies based on gossip and a gut feeling. There was a tactile joy in holding the cover art, reading the back synopsis, and committing to a movie just because the poster looked cool. Can we bring it back? In the age of vinyl records and Polaroid cameras, maybe there is a niche for physical movie retail. For now, Kebioskop21 exists as a beautiful memory—a reminder that cinema is not just about the film, but the access to it. It taught a generation of Indonesians to love stories from around the world, one pirated disc at a time. When Netflix landed in Indonesia, the need to
Today, most Kebioskop21 outlets are gone. Their green and yellow signs have been replaced by coffee shops or laundry services. The remaining few have pivoted to selling USB sticks or acting as "internet hotspots." It’s easy to romanticize the past. Streaming is objectively better. You don't have scratched discs that freeze during the climax. You don't have to rewind (okay, we never rewound DVDs anyway). The Kebioskop21 clerk suggested movies based on gossip
Before the reign of Netflix, Disney+ Hotstar, and endless YouTube algorithms, there was a physical journey to get your cinematic fix. And for many of us, that journey ended at a small counter filled with DVDs—Kebioskop21. For the uninitiated, Kebioskop21 wasn’t just a store; it was an institution. In an era where internet speeds were measured in kilobytes and data plans cost a fortune, streaming was a fantasy. If you wanted to watch The Avengers or the latest Fast & Furious , you had two choices: pay a premium at the actual CGV cinema, or walk into Kebioskop21.
This was the place where you discovered indie horrors, the early works of Joko Anwar, or that obscure Makmum rip-off that was actually terrifying. Kebioskop21 democratized film. A kid from a small ruko in Bandung had the exact same access to The Godfather as a kid from Jakarta. Unfortunately, the digital tide is merciless. First came the "Hard Drive Jockey"—the guy who would fill your 500GB drive with 200 movies for 50,000 Rupiah. Then came the big one : high-speed internet.

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.
| Macro | Argument Types | Returns |
| F_P(f,t) | face_t f, Thread *t, | pressure |
| F_FLUX(f,t) | face_t f, Thread *t | mass flow rate through a face |
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).
