Hello All,
I am fresher to CFD analysis and especially to CFX and need help understanding the basic process. I have gone through the tutorial but still need help with this specific case.So, your help would kick start my attempt.

My problem consist of an inlet nozzle and expander(impeller).

Question 1.

1. One Component

Is it possible to vary the inlet flow direction if I am using only the impeller.
Please see attached "One component".
If possible please let me know in detail how.

2. Two Components

I have modelled the nozzle and impeller in bladegen which generates a fluid zone before and after the bladed portion. I have brought in these two geometries as shown attached. I have offset the nozzle and impeller on purpose for your clear view.

Is this correct approach? Should the fluid zones overlap as shown or they should not?

Thank you,
Karmavatar
