Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a simple model using both structured and unstructured grids for a simulation of laminar flow around an obstacle. Describe your choice of grid and boundary conditions.
💡 Hint: Think about where flow is uniform versus where it needs to follow a complex shape.
Explain how the choice of boundary conditions can affect the outcomes of your flow simulation in a closed tank system versus an open channel.
💡 Hint: Consider the physical implications of flow being restricted versus free.
