Summary

We calculate the backstep flow from 0 sec to 1 sec.

The fluid flows in from the region "inlet" at (10, 0, 0) m/s and out from the region "outlet". A no-slip condition is set for the channel walls, and the problem is solved in 2 dimensions with a single mesh in the Z direction. The standard k-ε model is used as the turbulence model.

The meshes are as follows.

Mesh Meshes

To visualize the calculated turbulence energy and turbulence dissipation rate, check "k" and "epsilon" in the "Properties" tab on ParaView.
