Simulate mach reflection with mach stem generation using Ansys Fluent

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on simulating Mach reflection with Mach stem generation in Ansys Fluent, specifically at a wedge angle of 22 degrees and Mach 5. Participants suggest that the user should first gain experience with subsonic flow simulations before attempting supersonic scenarios. There is confusion regarding the feasibility of simulating Mach reflection in subsonic flow, highlighting the complexity of the topic. The conversation emphasizes the importance of foundational knowledge in fluid dynamics for successful simulation outcomes. Overall, understanding the basics is crucial before progressing to more advanced simulations.

Welcome to PF. What experience do you have so far running simulations in Ansys Fluent?

Thank you! I have a basic understanding. Nothing in depth
 
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?

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.
