Why Am I Getting Time Step Reduced Messages in Fluent Simulations?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on issues related to running Fluent simulations, specifically the "time step reduced" messages encountered during a 3D nozzle flow simulation. Users seek tutorials for airflow analysis over 3D geometries using Gambit and Fluent, with links to Cornell University's resources provided. Some participants report issues accessing tutorial links while others suggest alternative resources and books for learning. The original poster is looking for guidance on creating specific data files for simulations and understanding the cause of the time step reduction messages. The conversation emphasizes the importance of proper setup and resource utilization in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations.

cud anyone please gimme some links for tutorials for airflow over 3d geometry in gambit(for meshing) & fluent (for analysis)...
:confused:
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Try registering in the fluent website...They provide a lot of free tutorials...
 
in cornell university, there are some tutorials files.this is the link:

i m also studying GAMBIT and FLUENT. If you know how to construct 3D nozzle, please share me. thanks for your help.
 
do try the link in post3, they ll give some feel of working with CFD.

Documentation & tutorial files of fluent are also a good source to kick start

I don't know what's wrong with that link. I can't try. when I enter that link, it shows me like this

Not Found
The requested URL /courses/fluent/index.htm was not found on this server.


Please tell me what should I do. thanks for your helps.
 
try this, it works
http://courses.cit.cornell.edu/fluent/index.htm

I am reading this book, Finite Element Analysis Theory and Applications with ANSYS - Saeed Moaveni, it is nice. Try to get hold of some similar book from your library

I got a data file (http://rapidshare.com/files/172642046/vert.dat) from the example of compressible flow in a nozzle (http://courses.cit.cornell.edu/fluent/index.htm )
It works for GAMBIT. But I am facing with a problem. My problem is : I don't know how to create this type of file by myself. So, please guide me which type of software I should use to create this file type.

Hi
I am running a simulation of 3D nozzle flow with the following information: Density based implicit solver, Inviscid Flow model, Ideal gas flow, operating pressure=0, Pressure inlet boundary, pressure outlet boundary...after some iteration ,I am getting "time step reduced in 1 cells" , after getting this message, iteration still continue and I get again " time step reduced in 4 cells"...please let me know why I get this message and how to solve this problem.

Thanks
