Let's now investigate how we can achieve a solution in FLUENT. One must keep in mind that the governing equations we are attempting to find an approximate solution to are non-linear. This means that in order for a CFD program, such as FLUENT to solve it, it must go through an iterative process. This process is briefly described in the flow-chart below (click for a clearer image).

Before we can start the solution process, we must provide FLUENT with some initial information. Firstly, we will be describing the solution method we want FLUENT to follow. The options can be found with:
