In today's video we will be using ANSYS Fluent CFD Meshing to develop a nice accurate 2D mesh for a nozzle. This can be used to obtain great CFD results. The relevant ANSYS tools you will learn are:

1) Face Meshing
2) 2D Geometry from SolidWorks
3) Mesh Control, Sizing and Face Splitting

The reason why a nozzle must be meshed accurately is to account for the throat velocity effects, change in Mach number from subsonic to supersonic, along with oblique and normal shocks, if they form inside the nozzle (this is dependant on the pressure ratio).
