Hi,

I am trying to find the air flow around the obstabcle in the wind channel, find the surronding velosity but there is some error.
Please help me remove this error

Thank you!

Best regards

Kehui Chen

Have you created a solid windtunnel? Is it the wing-like object in the middle that you want to model in a freestream?
In that case make a solid cube around the object, set the cube to air, the object to your chosen material and select two sides of the cube as inlet and outlet.

YES, I want to model a wing-like object in the middle. I use the weakly compressible Navier- Stokes Module, and I made a solid cube around it and the inlet pressure is 0.2MPa and the outlet pressure is 0.1MPa, but when compute, there are some errors.

Exception:
com.femlab.jni.FlNativeException: Failed to evaluate expression

Hi

I suspect you are missing a material property

Good luck

Hi Kehui

What you have imported are the solid bodies. So, you need actually the inverse geometry. Derive a domain for the fluid and apply the fluid flow physics there.
Checked model with v4.1...
