Supersonic Flow Over a Cone

Change the geometry from a wedge to a cone. What do you expect to change?

In the Outline window, click on General under Problem Setup. Under 2D Space select Axisymmetric. We also need to change the boundary condition for the symmetry to an axis. Click on Boundary Conditions in the Outline window. In the Boundary Conditions window, under Zone, select Symmetry. Change the Type to Axis. Now, reinitialize the solution, then run it again for 100 iterations.

Separated Shock

Next, we will alter the geometry to achieve a separated shock. Close FLUENT and open the Design Modeler. We want to increase the angle of the wedge above its critical angle. We will increase the angle to 35 degrees. Change the geometry's dimensions to match that of the diagram below.
