Hello!
I'm currently meshing a wind turbine and I want to see the wing tip vortex on fluent but first I need to mesh it. I made a one bladed wind turbine, in order to have fine mesh around the moving blade I create a volume around the tip of the blade and it covers the blade rotational path (Imagine a small square around the tip and made it revolves around the same axis as the wind turbine, like a torus, or doughnuts), let call it Torus. Then I made a bigger Volume of Fluent only. When I read my mesh file on fluent, it sees torus like a wall and inside my blade. I think fluent sees it as a wall because he sees another volume. I tried the boundary layer but I need a larger volume and using it on a blade is not easy. Is there a way to mesh around a blade and on his path without creating another volume? Thank you for you answer by advance. |
