Problem Specification |
Step 2: Geometry
Since our problem involves fluid flow, we will select the FLUENT component on the left panel.
Left click (and hold) on Fluid Flow (FLUENT), and drag the icon to the empty space in the Project Schematic. Here's what you get:
Since we selected Fluid Flow (FLUENT), each cell of the system corresponds to a step in the process of performing CFD analysis using FLUENT. Rename the project to Flat Plate Boundary Layer.
We will work through each step from top down to get to obtain the solution to our problem.
...
...
At this point, a new window, ANSYS Design Modeler will be opened. You will be asked to select desired length unit. Use the default meter unit and click OK.
Creating a Sketch
...
In the Sketching toolboxes, select Rectangle. In the Graphics window, create a rough rectangle starting from the origin in the positive XY direction (The letter P that shows up when you point the cursor on the origin means that the the point is coincident to the origin)
You should have something like this:
...
Dimensions
Now we will specify the appropriate dimensions and constraints. Below is the summary of geometry flat plate boundary layer:
Length: 1 m
Height: 0.5m (another suitable value can be used)
Under Sketching Toolboxes, select Dimensions tab, use the default dimensioning tools. Then click on the lines and drag upwards or sideways as the case may be to place the dimensions
...
Now that we have the sketch done, we can create a surface for this sketch.
Then click on Concept tab in the Design modeler window, then click on Surface from sketches.
This will create a new surface SurfaceSK1. Under the Tree Outline, click on the X-Y Plane and select Sketch1 as Base Objects and under Details View, click Apply. Finally click Generate to generate the surface.
