Dear All,
Anybody know how to find the rpm (rotation per minute) if i use propeller GMO object which due to fluid flow? Thank you in advance.. |

Look in Analyze->probe->general history->"GMO ... axis angular velocity". The output is in rad/sec.

"fluid i-torque about fixed axis"; "fluid torque magnitude about fixed axis" (that is the absolute value of "fluid 1-torque about fixed axis"); "residual i-torque about fixed axis". Which one is the correct one? |

Component ... GMO fluid x-torque about fixed point: the x component of the fluid torque about the specified rotation point
Component ... GMO fluid torque magnitude about fixed point: the total fluid torque about the specified rotation point (the vector sum of the x, y, and z torques) Component ... GMO residual x-torque about fixed point: the torque about the specified rotation point that is used to overcome the torque contributions of the inertial forces, body forces, viscous and pressure forces, and specified control forces (or torques) in the x-direction. |

obviously I can change "about fixed point" with "about fixed axis", in fact becouse I have to simulate a turbine that rotates around a fixed axis. Correct? |

I need help!!
In my simulation of a turbine i use gmo couplet motion with fixed axis. The turbine is made of ABS so the density is very similar to the water. In the GMO option what method I must use? Implict or esplicit? Which one is faster for the simulation? Thanks. |

Use the implicit option in this case

I find that it usually just works better

ok.
Another question. In probe output there is the "residual x-torque about fixed axis". I'm running a coupled simulation with a total torque control in the "moving object setup" tab. But the "residual x-torque about fixed axis" has always the value of zero. The only way to obtain a value for "residual x-torque about fixed axis" is to use a prescribed motion with a angular velocity impose to the turbine. It is correct or I have done something wrong? In the manual I found that : "Residual control force and torque in both space and body systems for any prescribed motion and a coupled motion with constraints (fixed axis, fixed point and prescribed velocity components)" It means that if i impose a coupled motion with total torque control, the residual output doesn't appear? Thanks! |

The residual torque/force is only non-zero in the directions with prescribed or zero velocity components. For example, it may be non-zero in the direction perpendicular to the rotation axis.
