Renaming and Setting the Fluid Boundary Types

The following boundary types will be used for each boundary in the fluid region:


Boundary Name	Boundary Type
Boundary 1 (Interface)	Wall
Inlet	Velocity Inlet
Outlet	Pressure Outlet
Symmetry	Symmetry Plane

We will start by renaming the Boundary 1 boundary:

Select the Boundary 1 node in the simulation tree, right-click and select Rename... from the pop-up menu.

In the Rename dialog that appears, enter Interface and press the OK button to apply it.

The boundary types can now be set. For the Interface boundary node, the default Wall condition is appropriate and does not need to be changed. To set the type for the Inlet boundary, do the following:

Select the Inlet node in the simulation tree.

Select the Velocity Inlet option in the pull-down menu for Type in the Properties window.

Repeat the above operation for the remaining boundary nodes in the table. The completed list of boundaries is shown below:

We can now proceed to extract the boundaries for the solid region.
