Description
Complete the tutorial as described in the pdf document. Then, perform the following additional tasks:
1. Use other turbulence models (e.g. k-omega standard, and one of the k-epsilon models), compare the results and comment.
2. Check mesh convergence: create a coarser or finer mesh, recompute the solution and compare the results. Try either a global refinement/coarsening, or a refinement/coarsening targeting the y+ value on the lower wall.
