Flat Plate Convection CFD in ANSYS Fluent | Velocity & Thermal Boundary Layer + Nusselt Number

In this tutorial, I simulate convection over a flat plate using ANSYS Fluent and analyze both velocity and thermal characteristics. 🔹 Key steps in this study: • Analyze the development of the Velocity Boundary Layer and Thermal Boundary Layer over the plate. • Compare the thickness of the Thermal Boundary Layer with the Velocity Boundary Layer. • Done above both by making Temperature Contour and Velocity Contour 🔹 Draw the Nusselt number Plot • First, by using Ansys build-in function of Surface Nusselt number. • Using Nusselt number formula from textbook. • Nu = hx/k • Compare the difference and Convert Ansys Nusselt number to textbook Nusselt number. • Explained the reason. 🔹 Ansys Fluent CFD Simulation files: https://archive.org/details/flat-plat... This video will help students and researchers understand heat transfer in external flow, boundary layer development, and how to validate CFD results with theory.
