Pre-Analysis & Start-Up — Lesson 2

This lesson covers the pre-analysis of steady flow in an artery. It delves into the process of simulating the flow with a Reynolds number of 600 using the provided properties. The lesson also explains the mathematical model used in the Ansys Fluent® fluid simulation software solver, including the governing equations and boundary conditions. It further discusses the numerical solution strategy, the process of developing algebraic equations, and the reduction of discretization error. The lesson concludes with an overview of expected trends in the flow within the artery, including pressure, velocity, and wall shear variations.
