I just use those same boundary conditions. It seems to work okay. I don't think it's extremely important what you use for the boundaries if there is no inlet velocity.

Sounds like the same thing I'm doing then, except I'm just keeping it to two rotations. I wish you luck. Maybe try going through that pdf I posted on the previous page that someone sent me? I...

Sorry, I'm afraid I don't have more time to troubleshoot this problem in Fluent. I only have the transformation in a simplified version for 2 rotations (assuming the third is 0). Did you say you...

I've been able to do two rotations as well. All I know about the problem is in my last few posts. The Euler rate transformations seem to work in 2 axes but I haven't tried them in 3.

Aamer, if I'm understanding you right, your problem actually has a very simple solution. Since your wing is starting in the wrong orientation, you can just go to Mesh>Rotate and rotate your entire...

Aamer,

To do a simple wing sweep depends on how exactly you want to do the sweep. If it will be a constant speed, I believe you can use a moving mesh or rotating reference frame approach, but I...

Sorry aamer, that pdf was given to me by Jakub K, as I said in the post. I don't have the book.

Actually, here's something that someone sent me. This guy did a flapping simulation of a dragonfly in fluent, which you should be able to find easily on youtube. I asked him how he did his...

It certainly seems like it would be simplest if they just used a global coordinate system for the rotation, but it seems they have it defined based on the local body axes, which change orientation...

Dave,

In the end I was able to get rotations in two axes to work as follows.

Nomenclature:
Phi: flapping angle (about global Z-axis)
theta: pitching angle (about global X-axis)

For reference, here is a copy of my code. The first would define flapping + pitching motion, assuming the rotations are defined relative to the stationary axes:

#include "udf.h"

Ok, now really confused

I thought I had this right, but now I'm just more confused. I'm trying to just get motion about the x and y axes. I thought the Euler rate equations would help do this, but then I realized I'm...

Almostafa,

First off, it looks like you could simplify your code down to just:

# include "udf.h"
# include "dynamesh_tools.h"
DEFINE_CG_MOTION(pump,dt,vel,omega,time,dtime)
{
real freq_t;...

For posterity, I figured out how to solve my problem. Use the Euler rate transformations in the UDF in order to convert between body and stationary velocities. You'll also need to use the current...

I haven't had any luck either. I tried doing a coordinate transformation to transform rotations about the reference x, y, and z axes to rotations about the moving body x, y, and z axes. It gets the...

CG Motion Absolute coordinates

I'm having a little trouble with the Define_CG_Motion macro. I'm trying to do a simulation of a wing that is both flapping and pitching. The flapping is a rotation about the x-axis and the pitching...
