Hi dear experts,

I am going to simulate a mini horizontal axis wind turbine with Ansys CFX. The analysis will be both aerodynamic and structural.(two way FSI) my problem is that I do not know about the aerodynamic configuration of this problem. I doubt about the settings of the two domains(stationary and rotating). how should be the BCs?
another problem is definition of angular velocity of rotating domain , as the wind turbine rotates due to the linear wind speed that passes through the rotor blades. how should I define the angular velocity?

any further guideline is appreciated.

thanks in advance.

Ali
