This discussion focuses on simulating Mach reflection with Mach stem generation using Ansys Fluent, specifically at a wedge angle of 22 degrees and Mach 5. Participants emphasize the importance of first mastering subsonic flow simulations before advancing to supersonic scenarios. The consensus is that a foundational understanding of fluid dynamics is crucial for successfully executing these simulations in Ansys Fluent.
PREREQUISITESStudents and professionals in aerospace engineering, fluid dynamics researchers, and anyone interested in advanced simulation techniques using Ansys Fluent.
Welcome to PF. What experience do you have so far running simulations in Ansys Fluent?Vin B said:I need to simulate mach reflection with mach stem generation using on Ansys Fluent. The wedge angle is of 22deg at Mach 5.
Thank you! I have a basic understanding. Nothing in depthberkeman said:Welcome to PF. What experience do you have so far running simulations in Ansys Fluent?
I fail to understand how you can simulate Mach reflection in a subsonic flow. But otherwise I agree, @Vin B needs to walk before attempting to run.berkeman said:You may want to simulate sub-sonic flow and reflection before trying to tackle supersonic flow. Have you run any sub-sonic simulations yet? What class is this for, and what year are you in university?
