Hi All,

I am creating a sliding mesh for an outboard propeller in order to understand how the downstream velocity profile works. I have done quite a bit of research into tutorials and past work in order to understand how this model works, but it just seems to not be working and the liquid is flowing past/around the rotating volume.
Boundary Conditions in use are as follows:

Tank outlet = outflow is 1
Fluid= water
Model: K-epsilon realisation model with standard wall functions
Velocity at tank inlet is 0.04m/s (z-axis), Hydraulic Diameter= 0.217m^2, Intensity=5%
Rotating domain: rotation in z-axis =3000rpm

Solution method is coupled with standard pressure
Interfaces have also been set around the rotating volume.

I have attached pictures. Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is for my thesis.

Cheers
Stacy
