Week 9- Unsteady moving zones Approach
Week 9- Unsteady moving zones Approach
Simulate the motion of blades in a generic turbomachinery component using an unsteady approach.
- Assume blade rotation at 300rpm
- Choose an appropriate time step for the simulation and generate an animation file for the rotation.
Solution
- Import the mesh file in the fluent as shown below,

Mesh imported in fluent
- Use the Moving Frame method for the simulation first and follow the steps in the video to set up the simulation.
