Simulate mach reflection with mach stem generation using Ansys Fluent

AI Thread 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.
 

Thread 'Never think never for an improbable event'

Pilot training is critical to safe flying. I watched the following video regarding the crash of TAM 402 (31 October 1996), which crashed into a Sao Paolo neighorbood about 25 seconds after takeoff. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TAM_Transportes_A%C3%A9reos_Regionais_Flight_402 The pilots were never trained to handle such an event (the airline had asked the manufacturer about training for this event), since it was considered too improbable (so rare) by the manufacturer. There was no...

Thread 'Space Stuff and Launch Info'

Due to the constant never ending supply of "cool stuff" happening in Aerospace these days I'm creating this thread to consolidate posts every time something new comes along. Please feel free to add random information if its relevant. So to start things off here is the SpaceX Dragon launch coming up shortly, I'll be following up afterwards to see how it all goes. :smile: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/
