I need to simulate a flat plate in a hypersonic flow of Mach 8 to visualize the heat profile over the flat plate. Currently i am using a velocity inlet, outlet, and symmetry over the sides of the plate. I need to eliminate the symmetry conditions, as in the future simulation, a protrusion would be introduced to view the change in the heating profile. What are my best options to simulate the flow and get a desired result.
The best way to produce the desired result will be provide a flow rate inlet and a pressure outlet. This means that you either provide the mass flow rate or velocity at the inlet and specify the outlet pressure condition (atmospheric pressure and so on). Also, choice of an appropriate turbulence model will also help. These conditions should help you for the next steps.
