Creating the Solid
The geometry consists of a cylindrical pipe which is placed in the center of a cylindrical region

If you just extruded this circle, you would get a cylinder which consisted of three faces: circular top, circular bottom and the curved cylindrical face However, you will need to apply a boundary condition in the CFD simu-lation to just half of the curved cylindrical face The only way to do that effectively is to create the cylindrical face
in two parts This means that you need to modify the circle before extruding
