Step 3: Specify Boundary Types in GAMBIT
We'll label the boundary AFE as farfield1, ABDE as farfield2 and the airfoil surface as airfoil. Recall that these will be the names that show up under boundary zones when the mesh is read into FLUENT.
Group Edges
We'll create groups of edges and then create boundary entities from these groups.
...
Group Name | Edges in Group |
|---|---|
farfield1 | AF,EF |
farfield2 | AB,DE |
farfield3 | BC,CD |
airfoil | HI,IG,HJ,JG (name might vary) |
Define Boundary Types
Now that we have grouped each of the edges into the desired groups, we can assign appropriate boundary types to these groups.
...
Similarly, create boundary entities corresponding to farfield1, farfield2 and farfield3 groups. Set the Type to Pressure Farfield in each case.
