odd propeller flow
hi all once again... i want to quickly ask what causes the flow to act like this on this fan? (assume fan is rotating with a direction inwards towards the flat plane in order to accelerate flow downstream)
Surely flow must be 'sucked in' from upstream (left) and pushed at higher velocity downstream (right) ? CFX1.png is velocity contour CFX2.png is flow streamlines with velocity variable CFX3.png is velocity vectors What am i doing wrong? Ideally if someone could briefly explain the CFX-Pre steps one should take when dealing with domain interfaces and the different types of periodicity for this problem and where once should apply them on the domains http://img191.imageshack.us/i/cfx1.png/ http://img27.imageshack.us/i/cfx2.png/ http://img138.imageshack.us/i/cfx3.png/ |
Are you sure it is not just a startup thing? That is, after running for a while longer the flow settles down as you expect.

well i did let it run for about 30 iterations or so. (dont know if this is enough)
But it seemed that the RMS values for U,V,W-MOM all decreased and then stayed at some constant value at about 1e-4. Is this maybe too few iterations? Also, regarding the domain interfaces, i use translational periodicity a lot throughout, with a rotating domain for the fan (which the domain is like a cylinder that encloses it). Is this the correct approach? |
