Problem Specification
1. Create Geometry in GAMBIT
2. Mesh Geometry in GAMBIT
3. Specify Boundary Types in GAMBIT
4. Set Up Problem in FLUENT
5. Solve
6. Analyze Results
7. Verify Results

Step 5: Solve!

Solve > Control > Solution

We'll use a second-order discretization scheme. Under Discretization, set Flow to Second Order Upwind. Under Solver Parameters, set the Courant Number to 0.1.

 

Click OK .

Solve > Initialize > Initialize...

This is where we set the initial guess values for the iterative solution. We'll use the farfield values (M=3, p=1 atm, T=300 K) as the initial guess for the entire flowfield. Select farfield under Compute From .This fills in values from the farfield boundary in the corresponding boxes. (Alternately, I could have typed in these values but I like to palm off as much grunt work as possible to the computer.)


 

Click Init . Now, for each cell in the mesh, M=3, p=1 atm, T=300 K. These values will of course get updated as we iterate the solution below.
