Fluent profile reading for another solution
 

Hello all,
I need help with a problem. I have an aircraft simulation series. The main geometry is the same: same fuselage same wing with little differences, i.e. aileron angle, flap etc.

The fuselage is very detailed and the mesh size is quite big as is. I want to use the results from a full size analysis and solve the other ones with smaller mesh, without using fuselage and farfield.

I have written a profile for the cross-section I want from the full-size analysis result and read it into the new mesh boundary. However, what boundary type should I use for this? If I use pressure inlet, I can specify pressure and temperature but velocity directions are off. Velocity-inlet does not work at all (absurd pressure values).

Is this doable? How can I do it?

Btw, it is compressible flow, k-w SST 0.2 Mach.

If you want to specify as many parameters as possible then you should be using velocity inlet and specifying, x,y,z velocity, temperature, and turbulence.

Hello,

I'm facing someway the same problem and I have the following problem:

Maybe it inspires you... I'm using velocity inlet and a UDF which interpolates values from the macro simulation for setting the velocity in the coordinates x and y.

Thanks!

Thanks for the replies guys. Sorry, urgent jobs came in the way and i couldn't reply quickly.
I will try and play around a bit with velocity inlet but will it be numerically correct? I mean my flow is compressible and fluent says velocity inlet is not very good for comp. flows.
