Boundary layer Suction in CFX???

February 3, 2007, 12:01

Does anyone know how to perform 2D Boundary layer suction for airofil in CFX?? Is CFX or fluent capable of doing it???

Please let me know as soon as possible Thanks

Hi,

This might sound obvious, but don't you model a little suction device on the wing surface? The most realistic would be to model at least the entry port of the suction device and apply an appropriate boundary condition. You may also be able to get useful results using a mass sink which would be much simpler but trickier to get accurate.
