Solution

Solution Methods

In the Outline window, select Solution Methods to open the Solution Methods window. Under Spatial Discretization, change the option under Flow from First Order Upwind to Second Order Upwind.

Solution Controls

In the Outline window, select Solution Controls to open the Solution Controls window. Ensure that the Courant Number is set to 5.0.

Monitors

In the Outline window, click Monitors to open the Monitors window. In the Monitors window, select Residuals - Print,Plot and press Edit.... This will open the Residual Monitors window. We want to change the convergence criteria for our solution. Under Equation and to the right of Continuity, change the Absolute Criteria to 1e-6. Repeat for x-velocity, y-velocity, and energy, then press OK.



Solution Initialization

In the Outline window, select Solution Initialization. We need to make an "Initial Guess" to the solution so FLUENT can iterate to find the final solution. In the Solution Initialization window, under Compute from, select farfield from the drop down box. Check to see that the values that generate match our inputted values, then press Initialize

Run Calculation

In the Outline window, select Run Calculation. Change the Number of Iterations to 2000. Double click Calculate to run the calculation. It should only take about 5 minutes to solve. After the calculation is complete, save the project.
