In this video we look at setting up the geometry using Ansys Workbench. The first step is to split the wall boundary into sections so that certain sections can be specified as velocity inlets as opposed to walls. The resulting total number of cylinder sections is 20. This video is part of the Ansys Innovation Course: Flow Past a Cylinder – Estimation of Lift Force Using User-Defined Functions in Ansys Workbench. This SimCafe Course was developed by Dr. Rajesh Bhaskaran, Swanson Director of Engineering Simulation at Cornell University, in partnership with Ansys. Cornell University also offers a Fluid Dynamics Simulations Using Ansys online certificate authored by Dr. Rajesh Bhaskaran. Learn more here: https://ecornell.cornell.edu/fluiddyn...
