Hi,
I'm running transient analysis on a three bladed vertical axis wind turbine in 2d using fluent, the issue i'm having is that the moment coefficient is fluctuating between positive and negative values, See attached. I also have attached plots of the mesh and a pressure contour which shows no large discontinuities. Im using the transitional turbulence model with a "simple" scheme and second order upwind. I have my reference values set up as follows Depth = 1 Length = radius of turbine Area = diameter of Turbine X length of blades. If anyone could provide me with help it would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance |
