Selecting the Physics Models

Models define the spatial and temporal solution methods and the physical properties of the flow. In
this example, the flow is steady, turbulent, and compressible.

Use the default Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model and the ideal gas model. Use the coupled solver,
which is recommended for all supersonic and transonic compressible flows.

By default, a Physics 1 2D continuum is created when the mesh is converted to two-dimensional.

1. Rename the Physics 1 2D node to Aerofoil.

Edit the continuum definition to select appropriate physical models for the fluid.

2. For the physics continuum Continua > Aerofoil, select the following models, in order:

Make sure that the Two Dimensional, Gradients, and Auto-select check boxes are selected.

Group Box Model

Material Gas
Flow Coupled Flow
Equation of State Ideal Gas
Time Steady
Viscous Regime Turbulent
Reynolds-Averaged Turbulence Spalart-Allmaras Turbulence
Enabled Models All y+ Wall Treatment
SA Wall Treatment Low y+ Wall Treatment

3. Click Close.

Inside the Continua node, the color of the Aerofoil node has turned from gray to blue to indicate
that models have been activated.
4. To review the models, open the Aerofoil > Models node.
