<div>Hi, <\/div><div> <\/div><div>I am simulating an aircraft with the engine running, which involves internal and external (engine) flows together. The aircraft is placed in a far-field domain with prescribed boundary conditions, while the engine inlet will have a different boundary condition applied. Both the external domain and the engine are in the same fluid medium (air).<\/div><div> <\/div><div>My main questions are:<\/div><div><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. How should I model the computational domains? If I create a separate fluid volume inside the engine, the inlet and outlet become interfaces, which turn into internal boundaries in Fluent. How do I manage this appropriately for internal-external flow coupling?<\/li>\n
  2. How should I apply the boundary conditions correctly? I need to ensure the boundary conditions for the far-field and engine components are handled properly.<\/li>\n
  3. How do I prepare the geometry for this setup in SpaceClaim? Any suggestions on how to set up the computational domain in SpaceClaim? I want mesh and simulate in Fluent. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    <\/div><div>I’m seeking guidance on the best practices for geometry preparation, domain setup, and boundary condition application in this type of simulation.<\/div><div> <\/div><div>Regards,<\/div><div>Ali<\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-387355","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-ansys-fluent","topic-tag-boundary-conditions","topic-tag-external-aerodynamics","topic-tag-internal-flow-simulation","topic-tag-spaceclaim"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
