Compressible rhoPimpleFoam Case Setup Help!
 
Hey everyone!
I need to run a compressible case using LES/WALE for air flow over a NACA0012 air foil.
I ran an in-compressible case successfully, but I'm having many issues with getting started on the compressible.
I'm confused about a few things:
  1. Original case was Re=5300, and velocity of 0.53m/s and chord or 1m.
    I was asked to simulate compressible with same Re, same chord, but velocity is 85 m/s. What do I need to change in my new case?
  1. Apparently I need to only define the total pressure and temperature,
    how do I do this?
  1. Which files are necessary in 0/? I have many files from previous cases (p,U,T, alphat, nuTilda, muTilda, nut, k, e, s) but I'm not sure which ones are needed, and their corresponding units/values

I'm quite lost at this point! Hopefully someone can help.

Many thanks in advance!
