Problem statement –
AIR (0.2 m/s)

Wall

L
• GIVEN –

1. Length of contour (L) = 10 cm

2. Height of contour (H) = 10 cm

3. Velocity of air = 0.2 m/s

4. Gauge pressure = 0 Pa

• TO FIND –
To simulate fluid flow in a contour while air is flowing above it using ANSYS Fluent and
determine:

1. Particle pathline
2. Pressure contour
3. Pressure pathline
4. Velocity contour
5. Velocity pathline

• Assumption:
1. Steady State
2. Laminar Flow
3. Incompressible
4. Single phase
