4. Setup (Physics)
Launch Fluent
(Double Click) Setup in the Workbench Project Page. Select Double Precision. Then click OK
Check Mesh
(Click) Mesh > Info > Size
You should now have an output in the command pane stating that there are 18,432 cells.
(Click) Mesh > Check
You should see no errors in the command pane.
Specify Material Properties
Problem Setup > Materials > Fluid > Create/Edit....
Then set the Density to 1 kg/m^3 and set Viscosity to 0.05 kg/m*s. Click Change/Create then click Close.
Boundary Conditions
FarField1
Problem Setup > Boundary Conditions > farfield1.
Set Type to velocity-inlet. Click Edit.... Set Velocity Specification Method to Components, set X-Velocity to 1 m/s, and set Y-Velocity to 0 m/s.
FarField2
Problem Setup > Boundary Conditions > farfield2..
Set Type to pressure-outlet.
Cylinder Wall
Problem Setup > Boundary Conditions > cylinderwall.
Set Type to wall.
Reference Values
Problem Setup > Reference Values.
Set the Density to 1 kg/m^3. The other default values will work for the purposes of this simulation.
