Hi All,

I am simulating a axial fan in SimpleFOAM. The solution is converged but the results are totally strange. I have noticed two problems.

1. The flow is happening in opposite direction the fan is pushing
2. The pressure and velocity magnitudes are very high.

I have posted some pictures to give you an idea.

The mechCheck is ok. I am using total pressure inlet and static pressure outet. The domain is simple, a cylinder with fan inside it.

I suspect is fvSchemes issue.

BTW, how to submit <code> in the forum?

Code:

FoamFile

version 2.0;
class dictionary;
format ascii;
location "system";
object fvSchemes;
}

{
default steadyState;
}

}

{
default bounded Gauss upwind;
div(phi,U) bounded Gauss upwind;
div(phi,omega) bounded Gauss upwind;
div(phi,k) bounded Gauss upwind;
div(R) Gauss linear;
div((nuEff*dev(T(grad(U))))) Gauss linear;
}
