The discussion centers around simulating Mach reflection with Mach stem generation using Ansys Fluent, specifically focusing on a wedge angle of 22 degrees at Mach 5. The scope includes technical aspects of simulation and the experience level of the participants.
Participants express differing views on the appropriateness of simulating Mach reflection in subsonic flow, indicating a lack of consensus on this point.
There are unresolved questions about the prerequisites for simulating supersonic flows and the definitions of flow regimes relevant to the discussion.
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?
