Welcome back to The Engineering Guide! In today's video, we will be setting up a CFD Fluent simulation to analyze the flow around a NACA 4415 airfoil; or any other airfoil you need to do your simulation on, the steps are exactly the same. At first, we will take a look at the problem to become familiar with the geometry, boundary conditions and other variables that may be of importance. We will then jump into workbench and use fluent to perform the simulation.
In this tutorial, you will learn:
🔍 How to plot an airfoil in SpaceClaim
🔍 How to build a C-type domain around an airfoil
🔍 How to mesh a C-type domain
🔍 How to validate the mesh size using Y+ metric
🔍 How to initialize the simulation models
🔍 How to implement boundary conditions
🔍 How to plot lift and drag
🔍 How to plot velocity and pressure contours
Thank you for watching! Hope you enjoyed!
