Select PISO from the Pressure-Velocity Coupling drop-down list.
PISO allows the use of higher time step size without affecting the stability of the solution. Hence it is recommended pressure-velocity coupling for solving transient applications. |
Uncheck Skewnes-Neighbor Coupling.
Select Second Order Upwind from the Momentum drop-down list in the Discretization group box. Click OK to close the Solution Controls panel.
Initialize the flow field to the values at the inlet:
Main Menu > Solve > Initialize > Initialize...
In the Solution Initialization menu that comes up, choose inlet under Compute From. The X Velocity for all cells will be set to 1 m/s, the Y Velocity to 0 m/s and the Gauge Pressure to 0 Pa. These values have been taken from the inlet boundary condition.
Click Init. This completes the initialization. Close the window.
Go to Step 3: Specify Boundary Types in GAMBIT
