Hello,

I want to use a 1D velocity profile along a line (r,u,v,w) as a 360° INLET boundary for an other case? Is it possible to "rotate" this 1D profile data by 360° to get a full 360° boundary field?

Thanks in advance.

Markus

Use a cylindrical coordinate system.

I have only the Velocity components u,v,w at one's disposal along the line (that means u,v,w along the radius r).

If I use this input profile in cyclindrical coordinate frame (Axial component = Line 1.Velocity u(r), Radial component = Line 1.Velocity v(r),Thetacomponent = Line 1.Velocity w(r) ), the inlet profile displayed by vectors does not match with the original one! That's clear because u is indeed equal to the axial component but v is not euqal to the radial component and w is not equal to the theta component (in my case with the exception of the y axis with z = 0). Or do anyone know, how to transform all these cartesian values into cyclindrical one in cfx?!

Any other ideas?

It should be possible to transform the coordinates of a cartesian coordinate system into a cylindrical one and the other way round.

The transformation doesn't need to be done in CFX, you can use Matlab, Excel or whatever suits you.

Yes,the transformation is comprehensible for me but laborious as well. Therefore, I hoped that there is a transformation possible in cfx. OK, if there is no chance for transforming I am going to consider about another approach.

Thanks
