Week 9- Unsteady moving zones Approach

AIM:

To Simulate the motion of blades in a generic turbo machinery 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.

PROCEDURE:

SETUP:

          The geometry consists of three mesh file for each domain. Those files are imported into fluent and appended to each other in fluent.
