Setting Material Properties
To check the currently assigned values for the fluid physical properties
The other model of special interest in this tutorial is the turbulence model.
- Select the Realizable Two-Layer K-Epsilon node and inspect the default values and settings in the Properties window
These are again suitable for the problem in hand.
Finally, we will inspect the default values and settings shown below for the Reference Values and Initial Conditions in the fluid continuum and adjust as necessary.
The only changes to be made in this case are in the initial condition settings.
- Select the Initial Conditions > Turbulence Specification node
- In the Properties window, select option from the Method pop-up menu.
- Open the Static Temperature node and then select the Constant node
In the
Properties window, change the initial temperature to
293 K.
- Open node Turbulent Dissipation Rate and then select node Constant
- Check the default value displayed in the Properties window, which is suitable for this case
- Repeat this check for node Turbulent Kinetic Energy whose default value is also suitable for this case.
This completes the specification of physical properties and models for the fluid. The next step is to locate the boundary regions and specify boundary conditions.
The next step is Checking Boundary Locations.
