Axial Compressor CFD-Help needed

Dear All,
I have no prior experience of periodic simulations. As Axial Compressors have more than 30 blades in a single rotor plus it requires Guide vanes,Stator means for a 360 deg case it will have more than 100 blades in a single stage.Thus mesh gets too huge. So one must do periodic simulation.But with different No.of blades in stator,rotor & Guide Vanes can we analyse a single stage using Rotational Periodicty?(since for a frozon rotor interface areas doesnt match) I am trying it,but solver gets overflow.I m stuck with the situation.Can anybody pull me out of this situation. Thanks for your precious time. |

How many blades are on each component and how do they align?
In order for there to be periodicity, the numbers of all the features around the axis must share a common factor. For instance, if you have 32 blades on your rotor and 7 guide vanes, your geometry won't be periodic regardless of the orientation of the rotor. If any component does not exhibit periodicity, then the geometry as a whole does not. I understand the frustration as I am currently working with a simulation that would be 1/4 symmetric, except for one feature that exists in only 1 quadrant. As a result I can not use any symmetry on my geometry containing over 3,000 surfaces so my mesh contains over 20,000,000 cells. |
