Hi,
Help me please. I want to model this transient case in Fluent: Firstly, I have modelled Natural convection in a cavity with cylinders. Each cylinder has a source term. I have done it satisfactorily. After a certain time, I want to model forced convection immediately after natural convection. How can I save the initial conditions of the last step of the natural convection case in order to use them in the forced convection case? What could be another alternative procedure? Regards |

Run your natural convection case to your satisfaction. Change all the settings to your satisfaction for the forced convection case. Do not initialize it again. That's all. |
