The 30x100 mesh is saved as plate.dbs in your working directory. Bring up the command prompt window as in step 1. To copy plate.dbs to plate50.dbs, at the command prompt, type
copy plate.dbs plate50.dbs
We will work with plate50.dbs in order to retain plate.dbs as is. Launch GAMBIT with plate50.dbs as the input file by typing:
gambit plate50.dbs

Follow the same method as in previous tutorials to change the mesh. The face mesh will be automatically deleted when you re-mesh the edges. The top and bottom edges will remain the same.

Mesh the inflow and outflow edges at a Successive Ratio of of 1.095 and an Interval Count of 50.

...

Remesh the face and then export this as the 2D mesh file, plate50.msh.

Read the file into FLUENT and repeat step 4 and step 5 of this tutorial to set up and solve the problem in FLUENT. The solution should converge in approximately 115 iterations. Plot y+ at the plate as explained in step 6.

Remesh the face and then export this as the 2D mesh file, plate150.msh.

Read the file into FLUENT and repeat step 4 and step 5 of this tutorial to set up and solve the problem in FLUENT. The solution should converge in approximately 4550 iterations. Plot y+ at the plate.
