Problem Specification



Consider air flowing across a flat plate boundary layer with a length of 1m and a vertical air flow length 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 air 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 density of air to be 1 kg/m^3 and the viscosity to be 10 x 10 ^(-3). Solve the problem using FLUENT via ANSYS Workbench. 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.
