It's a pipe filled with water (actually I'm using the "cylinder_in_channel.iges" from the Elmer samples directory) with:
- a no-slip boundary condition on side walls and the square obstacle (Boundary Condition 1)
- no boundary conditions on inlet and outlet faces
- a body force along the axis of the pipe
and I'm aiming for a steady state solution with the Navier-Stokes and K-Epsilon solvers
I think I'm missing something obvious, but I can't find what is it.
