How to find RPM from wind speed in Floworks?

Hi all,
I'm currently simulating a VAWT in CosmosFloworks. I more or less manage to find correct values for the torque that I can expect at a certain amount of wind speed. But I always have to specify the amount of RPM in the global rotating setting. Isn't it possible only to give the wind speed and find out the RPM of the VAWT ? Another question is, I tried to specify a local rotating region but it won't work, I can't define it if it's not a closed area (a cylinder would work but not a open region), any idea someone? I am currently using global rotation which is a bit wrong, I know, but that's the only way I can do for now. if any answers or even questions feel free, I'm running out of imagination ! Thanks in advance, Matco |
