For our problem, you can leave the default options, i.e., Pressure-Based Based, Steady and Planar.

Lastly, click in "Units" and change the "angular-velocity" unit to rpm.

Set the Model

Here is where we tell FLUENT all simplifications for the model it can assume. For instance, here you specify if the model is Inviscid, Laminar or Turbulent, if you should consider the Energy Equation (for supersonic flows), and other options.

For us, , we are considering turbulence, and we will use the k-epsilon Realizable model.

Highlight "Model" and double click the third item in the list, "Viscous - Laminar". Select "k-epsilon (2 eqn)". Change "k-epsilon Model" to Realizable. Retain the rest as default.
