I am interested in running a simulation in ANSYS Fluent (or CFX, whichever is more useful) that combines the following.
Update:
- A rotating wing in the air, similar to a turbine blade. After experimenting with a sliding grid I've come to the conclusion a deforming grid around a stationary wing would be better.
- A velocity inlet that is attached to the wing at the base. This mimics the rotating wing.
- A no-shear surface at the inlet.
As stated above I have found several tutorials showing how to create a sliding grid model; however, having the mesh deform instead would allow the inlet to remain fixed and that would be better.
Finally, the velocity inlet that I envision will need to be a solid surface, and I don't want that to influence the flow, so that would need to have no shear on the surface.
I have included two images showing what I am trying to model with ANSYS.
- The blue is the inlet velocity wall, and the red arrow represents the velocity.
- The yellow represents the walls with no shear. I am unsure how to implement this and would appreciate some specific guidance and recommendations.
Update:
- The blue lines represent a larger course mesh (not to scale).
- The red lines represent a smaller fine mesh (cylindrical in shape to allow the region to rotate, notice the green arrow is pointing opposite to the first figure). This is similar to a sliding mesh, but the wing in black should stay fixed with the mesh deforming as the flow rotates. I am unsure how to implement this and would appreciate some specific guidance and recommendations.
