Fluent

The final stage of the CFD process was to run the simulation using Fluent. All bluff bodies and large vehicles have an associated amount of drag and turbulence. The degree of turbulence was anticipated to be high, so a k-epsilon model was used to represent this.

The meshed model was imported from Gambit and the initial values such as inlet velocity set. The model was then iterated.
