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.

Note: In the above video we set the residuals to be very small, at 1e-6. This effectively ensured that the calculation did not stop before before the 1500 iterations specified. A solution is deemed to have converged (and the calculation ends) when ALL residuals fall below the limit set. Although I forgot to input 1e-6 for k and omega, the outcome is the same because the x-velocity, y-velocity and z-velocity residuals had not reached 1e-6.
