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

Create a mesh that is finer than the original mesh to see if our original solution contained inaccuracies due to the mesh. Mesh the inflow and outflow edges at a Successive Ratio of 1.065 and an Interval Count of 150. Image Added
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. Image Added
