Hi Brian,

1- the flow direction was based on Turbo comment. Since the axis of rotation is Z, I set x = - 1, y = tan (78.33) and Z= 0. I doubly I have a problem here

2- yes the efficiency was calculated by Rital (Comcept NREC). In Rital, I designed a turbine with volute and rotor ( no stator). So, the enthalpy drop should take place at the rotor.

Why did you use the compressor template in performance?

Hi Turbo,

I'm not using compressor template. I'm using turbine rotor template but I don't know why it appears as a compressor. Attached is the screenshot of the velocity streamlines

Before trying any CFD, bear in mind that you need to study the basics of turbomachinery, especially the velocity triangle.

Your geometry setting needs a negative rpm. There will be more to fix other than that. Just study setting aside the CFD job.

This forum is not aiming for providing turbomachinery education, as I know.

That's correct but I would be happy if you mentioned "the more things need to be fixed" though

Based on the picture, rpm needs to be negative. Also, your inlet flow direction needs to be in the same direction as the rotation. Based on the axes you have, I think you need z=0, y=-1 and x = tan(78). I would strongly recommend reviewing this resource if you need a turbomachinery reference: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...feI6rXhjuNutww

Turbo is correct. You need to review the basics of turbomachinery so you can troubleshoot your CFD. Chapter 8 of this resource is for radial turbines, but there is a good general review in the first few chapters as well. Best of luck!

Dear Brian, Turbo and all,

Thank you for your comments and advices. I'll keep working on that till it is fixed.

Brian,

Using the flow direction you mentioned (z=0, y=-1 and x = tan(78).), I got the following error:

ERROR #002100024 has occurred in subroutine ASS_FLX_BDINIP. |
| Message: |
| The specified flow direction on boundaries must not be tangential |
| to the boundary. However, on the boundary patch |
| |
| R1 Inlet |
| |
| a specified flow direction having an angle of 6.2 degrees |
| was found, which the solver considers as being nearly tangential. |
| Please do one of the following: |
| (1) Check your direction specification on this boundary. |
| (2) Set the 'Flow Direction Linearisation' to 'Velocity Magnitude' |
| in your boundary specification. |
| (3) Modify the solver tolerance by decreasing the expert parameter |
| 'tangential vector tolerance' below its default of 10 degrees.


I will try to follow the comments suggested by CFX

Thanks again all of you

Just to let you, I'm using Cartesian coordinates based on comment by Turbo. I have a swirl angle (absolute flow angle) = 78.33 deg

Many thanks in advance

Anas. Hi. Have you solved your issues. I need to do similar simulation and I only have 2 days to work on it. Please, can you reply.
