In the Outline window, click Monitors to open the Monitors outline. In the Monitors outline, double-click Residuals. This will open the Residual Monitors window. We want to change the convergence criteria for our solution. Under Equation Equations and to the right of Continuity, change the Absolute Criteria to 1e-6. Repeat for x-velocity, y-velocity, and energy, then press OK.

In the Outline window, select Solution Initialization. (Note: In later versions, this is simply named Initialization. We ) We need to make an "Initial Guess" to of the solution so FLUENT can iterate to find the final solution. In the Solution Initialization window, select Standard Initialization, then under Compute from, select farfield from the drop down box. Check to see that the values that generate are generated match our inputted the values that we input, then press Initialize.

Run Calculation

In the Outline window, select Run Calculation. Change the Number of Iterations to 4000. Double-click Calculate to run the calculation. It should take a few minutes to solve. After the calculation is complete, save the project. Do not close FLUENT.
