The domain extends a distance upstream of the flat plate, and a symmetry boundary condition is used to simulate a free-stream approaching the plate in this region (highlighted in purple). In the figure of the mesh, this corresponds to the Navier-Stokes (no-slip) boundary condition highlighted in green. The flat plate is along the lower boundary of the domain (y = 0) starting at x = 0 m and is of length 0.3048 m (1 ft). The computational mesh for the flat plate is composed of quadrilaterals with 65 nodes in both the x- and y-directions.

Resulting free-stream Mach number = 0.2.

Inlet Stagnation Pressure = 100000.0 N/m2.

This problem will solve the for the flow over the flat plate with these conditions: More detail on the Blasius solution and the similarity variables can be found in Chapter 18 of Fundamentals of Aerodynamics (Fourth Edition) by John D.

This problem has become a classic test case for viscous flow solvers.

TECPLOT 360 VELOCITY PROFILE TUTORIAL SKIN

In this tutorial, we will perform a solution of nearly incompressible (low Mach number) laminar flow over a flat plate and compare our results against the analytical Blasius solutions for the profile shape and skin friction coefficient along the plate. Where Re_x is the Reynolds number along the plate. Using the numerical solution, an expression for the skin friction coefficient along the flat plate can also be derived: The third-order, ordinary differential equation can be solved numerically using a shooting method resulting in the well-known laminar boundary layer profile. Blasius obtained what is now referred to as the Blasius equation for incompressible, laminar flow over a flat plate:

It is assumed you have already obtained and compiled the SU2_CFD code for a serial computation. The following tutorial will walk you through the steps required when solving for the flow over a flat plate using SU2. You will need the configuration file ( lam_flatplate.cfg) and the mesh file ( mesh_flatplate_65ењ†5.su2). The resources for this tutorial can be found in the compressible_flow/Laminar_Flat_Plate directory in the tutorial repository. The intent of this tutorial is to introduce a common viscous test case which is used to explain the basics of setting up a viscous case in SU2. Inlet, Outlet, Symmetry, and Navier-Stokes Wall boundary conditions.Corrected average-of-gradients viscous scheme.Roe convective scheme in space (2nd-order, upwind).Steady, 2D, Laminar Navier-Stokes equations.Consequently, the following capabilities of SU2 will be showcased in this tutorial:

The solution will provide a laminar boundary layer on the surface, which can be compared to the Blasius solution as a verification case for SU2. Upon completing this tutorial, the user will be familiar with performing a simulation of external, laminar flow over a flat plate.
