Hi,

I am simulating an axial flow air turbine (the Wells turbine for extracting wave energy) using MRF. The problem is when i calculate the blade torque, it gives a value close to zero!


The solution is converged well but the problem is with the moment report. my torque is very low . I tried different mesh topologies and all give me almost the same number (which is very low compared to experiments). Is there any adjustment that must be made in fluent before starting the calculations?



I am really grateful that guide me about this.

Thanks,

Best,

Aja
