Step 3: Solution

1.   Initialize the flow field using the boundary conditions set at velocity-inlet-5.

Solution Initialization

(a)   Select velocity-inlet-5 from the Compute from drop-down list.

(b)   Click Initialize.

  A Warning dialog box will open, asking if you want to discard the data generated during the first initialization, which was used to inspect the cell partitions.

(c)   Click OK in the Warning dialog box to discard the data.

2.   Enable the plotting of residuals during the calculation.

3.   Start the calculation by requesting 200 iterations.

Run Calculation

  The solution will converge in approximately 180 iterations.

4.   Save the data file ( elbow4.dat.gz).
