Pre-Analysis & Start-Up — Lesson 2

This lesson covers the pre-analysis of supersonic flow past a wedge using Ansys Fluent® fluid simulation software, it explains the process of simulating the flow, comparing the results with hand calculations, and refining the mesh for accurate results. The lesson also delves into the mathematical model, numerical solution strategy, and the analytical approach for the simulation. The lesson further discusses the governing equations, boundary conditions, and the assumptions made for the simulation. For instance, the lesson covers the use of the ideal gas law as the equation of state and the assumption of 2D steady inviscid gas flow.
