Hi all

I'm modelling a fan and my domain consists of various sub-domains 'stitched' together. Where the sub-domains meet, the interfaces are non-conformal. The entire domain is solved in the rotating reference frame. Therefore every sub-domain is static relative to the other.

I'm presently having trouble trying to plot continuous 2D streamlines on a surface through my domain in CFX. I've read all the posts on "Velocity in stn frame" and the relative "Velocity" options in CFX, but I think my problem is a little different since I do not have an MRF between my "rotor" sub-domain and the rest of the computational domain. I'm plotting the "Velocity in stn frame", but a discontinuity still occurs at the interfaces (see figure attached). Is it possible that CFX can plot continuous streamlines in this case.

Any help would be appreciated.

Kind regards
Francois
