Summary

The turbulent flow past a NACA 0012 airfoil is modeled. The flow has a free-stream Mach number,M, of 0.55 at an angle of attack of 8.34 degrees. The Reynolds number, Re, of the flow, based on the chord length of the airfoil, is 9x 106.

Details

This tutorial covers the following subjects:

  • Setting a model name and title for the problem.
  • Reading a multi domain, DTF grid, and building a FD-FASTRAN model.
  • Setting fluid properties such as molecular weight.
  • Setting initial values for the flow field.
  • Setting boundary conditions appropriate for a turbulent flow problem.
  • Setting solution iterations and cycles.
  • Choosing a suitable time-integration scheme and setting CFL numbers.
