Hi alls,
I want to simulate free surface of stirred tank.
I've solved my problem but it seems that results are wrong.
System should be stable after a period of time, but did not stable.
I think thak I don’t do a part of problem.
What should I do that I have not done?
Step by step of my problem:
Read msh file
1) Make grid interfaces (rotor-stator interface)
2) Set multiphase model to VOF with default parameters
3) Set K-E with default parameters
4) Copy water-liquid from materials database
5) Define Air as primary phase
6) Define water as secondary phase
7) Operating condition: active gravity and set -9.81 to Z, (0 0 26.5) as reference pressure location
8) Boundary condition:
A) Rotor fluid: whether moving mesh or mrf , 200rpm
B) Rest fluid: stationary
C) Impeller: stationary
D) Shaft: absolute rotational, 200rpm
E) Top of tank: symmetry
F) Tank walls: no slip
10) initialize, init with default parameters
11) Adapt/ region/ (Xmin=-12, Xmax=12) (Ymin=-12, Ymac=12) (Zmin=0, Zmax=21.5)/ mark
12) initialize/ patch/ volume fraction of water in marked zone is set to 1
13) all parameters of solution is default of fluent
14) time step=0.001 or 0.0001
15) iterate
