Hello guys,

I am simulation 2D windshield de-icing problem but I have some problems. As you see from the snapshots velocity BL is not smooth. I tryed different mesh models but counter does not changed. Should I at inflation on inlet side also(I added only for windshield)? When I do that, reduced cells are produced..I am new at fluid analysis and Ansys, so your help will be appreciated

Could anyone advise a solution?

You don't have enough resolution in the lower pipe. Do you really need to simulate the flow inside that region? Otherwise you could just put your inlet at the top of it…

I refined the mesh and results are now better converged. Air inlet must be inclined relative to the front surface so I need this pipe. What do you think about the residuals? It is converged but continuity fluctuates a little bit, is it normal? I solved the problem at steady state with RNG k-eps turbulans model....
