and to the following students who assisted in the creation of the Fluid Dynamics tutorials:
This tutorial will provide an outline to guide the user through creating a 3-D Euler
mesh in Gambit and provide experience with setting up mesh interfaces and moving
meshes in Fluent.
The methods expressed in these tutorials represent just one approach to modeling, defining and
solving 3-D problems. Our goal is the education of students in the use of CAx tools for model-
ing, defining and solving fluids application problems. Other techniques and methods will be
used and introduced in subsequent tutorials.

Axial Fan
Meshing Geometry
The fan geometry was created in a popular
CAD package and saved as a STEP file.
Import the STEP file named
“Axial_Fan_fan.stp”.
Use the following settings:
4
Axial Fan
Meshing Geometry
Create another size function whose source
is the edges that form the blade roots and
attach to the nine faces that form the hub.
Use the same parameters as the previous
function. Mesh the hub faces with Tri ele-
ments.

Axial Fan
Meshing Geometry
Now import the STEP file named
“Axial_Fan_cone.stp”.
6
Axial Fan
Starting in Fluent
Load the mesh file into the 3-D version of
Fluent. Check the mesh for any errors.

Axial Fan
Defining the Problem
Change the Under Relaxation value for
pressure to 0.7 and the Pressure-Velocity
Coupling to SIMPLEC.
