I urgently need your help with flow in a car radiator!

Hello everyone!!
I'm trying to simulate a car radiator. The water will be flowing in the radiator at 90 degree Celsius and the radiator will also be aircooled with air passing over it at at 17m/s. I can simulate flow inside the radiator with water but I don't know how to simulate flow of water inside the radiator and air outside the radiator in fluent at the same time.
I'm a beginner at FLUENT so any help would be reallly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi. You have to create an air domain over the radiator and name it as air domain. Then name the inlet and outlet of both air and water domain. While solving the problem, choose the appropriate fluid for both the domain from FLUENT material database.
