               Incompressible Single Phase Flows






               2.1     Block Mesh Refinement: Flow over Cylinder (Re=150)

               2.1.1    Prerequisites

                   • TransAT

                   • TransATUI

                   • Paraview (or Tecplot)

               2.1.2    Introduction

               In this section a single-phase flow over a cylinder will be simulated. The flow around the object
               is studied and the time signal of the velocity at a monitoring point is the output.
               The Reynolds number is Re = 150. Different grids are compared, using Block Mesh Refinement
               (BMR). This tutorial is beneficial in understanding the possibilities of BMR.


               2.1.3    Creating a template project
               A first project will be created, where everything but grid properties will be defined. In this way,
               several grid configurations can be used, using BMR or simple refinement.


               2.1.3.1   Launch TransATUI
                   • Double-click the TransAT icon on the Desktop.


               2.1.4    Opening TransAT window

               The first step in creating a new TransAT project is naming said project and giving it a location.
