Hello,

I have a concentric cylinder geometry as shown i the figure, such that,

Inner wall is Rotating
Outer wall is stationary
Upper wall is stationary
lower wall is stationary
Fluid (liquid) is confined in the annular region (volume).

Do I have to use a dynamic mesh or moving mesh OR I can mesh the geometry normally and rotate the inner walls in FLUENT ? (I have used the 2nd option).
------------------------------------------------------
REGARDING SIMULATION (I have referred to "Non-Newtonian Transitional Flow in an Eccentric Annulus")

STEP BY STEP ANALYSIS OF MY PROBLEM

1. Models: As I am simulating the taylor couette flow of an incompressible fluid, my problem will go from laminar to turbulent flow pattern. In this case what kind of model should I use :Viscous-> k-epsilon or K-omega ? (I had used standard k-epsilon with standard wall functions).
