Problem Specification

Go to [Step 1: Pre-Analysis and Start-up]


Consider air flowing across a flat plate boundary layer with a length of 1m and a vertical air flow length of 0.5m (this is valued used in this simulation, another suitable value can be chosen by the user). The 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 1 atm. Take density to be 1 kg/m^3 and viscosity to be 10 x 10 ^(-3). Solve the problem using Fluent. The Reynold's number based on the plate length is 10,000. Plot the center line velocity and velocity profile at the outlet. Validate your results.
