The most striking difference between the two results is the thickness of the shock. Notice that for the refined mesh, the shock is less thick that for the original mesh. This shows that the refined mesh is converging towards the real case.

Separated Shock

Next, we will alter the geometry to achieve a separated shock. Close FLUENT and open the Design Modeler. We want to increase the angle of the wedge above its critical angle. We will increase the angle to 35 degrees.
