Mesh Density
Now return to GAMBIT and produce two higher density meshes, doubling the number of mesh points in each
case (ie 100, 10 and 50, 20). Run these simulations in Fluent and look at the output as vector plots and contour
Mesh Grading
Now return to GAMBIT and produce a further mesh at 50, 10 but grade the 10 points at the inlet and outlet to
improve the mesh density at the walls. Simulate in Fluent and compare the results from this simulation with
those from the previous simulations.
A note on files and directories
When you have finished, check your directory (ls). You will find that, even for this simple set of examples, the
number of files is large and the space taken up by these files is growing rapidly. You will have many fluent
examples by the time you finish this course. You should structure your files in order to be able to keep track of
these. In order to carry out good housekeeping, you will need to learn a few basic unix/linux commands. I
suggest the following protocol for your future work.
Before you run gambit or fluent
<mkdir CFD5> (makes a directory called CFD5 within your home directory - you only need to do this once.)
<cd CFD5> (change directory into CFD5)
<mkdir channel> (each time you start a new example, give it an easily recognisable name, such as channel)
<cd channel>
Only now should you run gambit or fluent. This will be your working directory by default and all files generated
will be saved here.
In future, when you start up, you will be able to go straight to the working directory if you have already created
it.
<cd CFD5> (you have changed directory and if you ls, you will see the directory channel)
<cd channel> (now you will be able to see your files from the last time)
