Week 8- Moving zones approach in Fluent

Objective:

To perform a simulation of rotary motion for a given geometry.

Questions:

1. What are the approaches by which you would model moving zones?

There are two types of motion encountered in fluid flow, they are rectilinear and rotary.

There are two approaches to model rotary motion:

• Moving reference frame
• Moving mesh approach.

2. Which approach would you use to model unsteady phenomena?

• We can use moving mesh in an unsteady case
