Summary

We calculate the supersonic air flow around a triangular prism.

The Fluid flows in from the region "inlet" at 650 m/s and out from the region "outlet". The length of the flow path from the region "inlet" to the region "outlet" is 1 m. The flow is assumed to be free-flowing in the regions "topWall" and "bottomWall", which are parallel to the flow, and no-slip wall in the region "prismWall", which is a triangular prism surface.

The calculation is performed as a 2-dimensional analysis for 0.0004 seconds. The standard k-ε model is used as turbulence model.

The meshes are as follows, and the number of mesh is 6636.
