In this section the various solver properties will be specified in order to obtain the proper solution for the flat plate boundary layer flow. First, the Energy Model parameters will be specified. In order to open the Energy Model Options Models > Energy-Off > Edit..., as shown in the following image.

For incompressible flow, the energy equation is decoupled from the continuity and momentum equations. We need to solve the energy equation only if we are interested in determining the temperature distribution. We will not deal with temperature in this example. So leave the Energy Equation set to off and click Cancel to exit the menu. Next, the Viscous Model parameters will be specified. In order to open the Viscous Model Options Models > Viscous - Laminar > Edit..., as shown below.
