ANSYS Fluent · CFD Tutorial Fan Boundary Condition in ANSYS Fluent: Ceiling Fan CFD Model a ceiling fan in a room without meshing a single blade — using Fluent's fan boundary condition and its pressure-jump model. Full workflow from geometry to airflow results. How do you simulate a ceiling fan pushing air around a room in CFD — without the nightmare of meshing and rotating the blades? The answer is one of Fluent's most useful and underrated tools: the fan boundary condition . It replaces the whole fan with a thin surface that simply adds a pressure rise to the flow, capturing the fan's effect at a tiny fraction of the cost. This tutorial walks through a complete ceiling fan simulation in ANSYS Fluent — geometry, named selections, mesh, adding the fan boundary condition, and reading the airflow — with screenshots from the full video.
