Numerical Solution

Here, we tell FLUENT which solution method to use, how many iterations to perform, how to initialize to solution and what to visualize during the calculation. Finally, we run the calculation.

Summary of steps in the above video:

1. Solution Methods
   1. Change Scheme to Coupled 
   2. Pressure to Standard
   3. Check Pseudo Transient and High Order term relaxation 
2. Monitors
   1. Change the residuals of continuity, x-velocity, y-velocity and z-velocity to 1E-6
   2. Create a surface monitor
      1. Select plot
      2. Select write
      3. Select Blade surface
3. Solution Initialization
   1. Standard
      1. From inlet
4. Run Calculation
   1. Set the number of iterations to 1500
   2. Initialize and Run calculation
