Consider aira fluid flowing across a flat plate. boundaryObtain layerthe withvelocity aand lengthpressure ofdistribution 1mwhen andthe aReynolds verticalnumber airbased flowon lengththe of 0.5m.  The value of 0.5m for the vertical air flow length is used in this tutorial; however, the user can specify a different value. The airplate length is 10,000. This Reynolds number is obtained by using the following settings. The plate length is 1 m. The incoming fluid is flowing in the x-direction with a velocity of 1 m/s and the air flow exhausts into the ambient atmosphere which is at a pressure of 1 atm. Take the. The density of airthe tofluid beis 1 kg/m^3 and the viscosity to beis 1 x 10 \^(-4) kg/(m-2s). SolveNote thethat problemthese usingvalues FLUENTare vianot ANSYSnecessarily Workbenchphysical.
