Week 8- Moving zones approach in Fluent

Approaches to model moving zones

1. Moving reference frame

2. Moving mesh approach

Approach to model unsteady phenomena

To capture a unsteady phenomenan we should go for Moving mesh approach.

AIM: Simulate rotary motion for the geometry given and Plot the velocity profile of the fluid motion

Solver settings:

Realizable k-e with enhanced wall treatment.

Under cell zone conditions, enable frame motion for rotating frame.

Here rotation axis origin is (0,0)

rpm is 250m/sec.

Uncheck pseudo transient and change courant number to 10.

Also in boundary conditions, apply rotational motion for airfoil.
