CFD of 3D Wing Tip Blowing

NLao · November 8, 2010, 18:46

Hi All,

I am trying to simulate a naca0012 3d wing, 10 degs AoA, with continuous jet streams coming out from the tips, so I can see the effects these jets have on blowing out the wing tip vortices and reducing downwash.

I am just trying to get my head around how to tackle this. What I am trying at the moment is, creating the geometry of the wing and wing tip in solidworks, then importing it into Gambit as a IGES file, meshing it, and then finally put into ANSYS 12.1 (Fluent) to analyse.

Are there any suggestions on how to approach this problem?

Thanks

P.s. I am completely new to CFD and all packages.
