ANSYS Fluent Velocity Profile Tutorial

Job ID: 39926892

Budget: $30 – $250 USD

I’m looking for a Fluent-savvy tutor who can walk me through the entire setup, run, and post-processing of a rectangular open-channel flow and capture everything on video. The goal is simple: by the end of the recording I should have a clear, beginner-friendly workflow and a verified velocity profile at the outlet.

Geometry & physics
• Channel: 5 m long, 0.3 m wide, 0.3 m high
• Walls: 0.01 m thickness; bed: 0.01 m thickness
• Freeboard: 0.10 m air layer, leaving 0.19 m water depth
• Inlet velocity (water): 0.5 m s⁻¹
• Outlet boundary: Pressure outlet (my chosen condition)
• Turbulence: k-epsilon model
• Gravity effects: please enable and set the proper direction
• Multiphase not needed—treat air as a pressure boundary above the water surface unless you feel a VOF approach is essential (explain if you choose otherwise).

What I need you to record—slowly, as if teaching from scratch:
1. Building the geometry in SpaceClaim / DesignModeler and naming selections.
2. Creating a body-fitted mesh with suitable refinements near the wall and free surface; mention element count and quality checks.
3. Physics setup in Fluent: materials, phases (water + air headspace), operating pressure, gravity, boundary conditions, and solution methods.
4. Initialisation and run settings; monitor residuals and key parameters until convergence.
5. Post-processing: extract and plot the velocity profile exactly at the outlet plane, annotate axes and units.
6. Export the final case & data files.

Deliverables
• Full screen-recorded video (voiceover or on-screen notes) from launch to export—no skips, no fast-forward.
• The .cas/.dat files and any project archives.
• A high-resolution image or PDF of the outlet velocity profile.

I’ll review the video while replicating the steps; the job is complete once my run reproduces your velocity profile. Clear explanations, readable labels, and legible pacing are essential.
