Hi everyone
I am trying to model the laminar flow past a flat plate and have 3 questions. 1) If I select a constant density and material under the material properties, does this mean that FLUENT is solving the incompressible governing equations? The solution should be comparable to that of Blasius (1908). 2) If I select ideal gas under the material properties, does this mean that FLUENT is using the compressible governing equations? The solution should be comparable to that of van Driest (1952). 3) I am using a symmetry boundary condition for the top of the rectangular computational domain, this imposes a slight streamwise pressure gradient on the laminar flow. Are there any other options I could use to ensure a zero streamwise pressure gradient? Cheers Soria |
