How to simulate a spinning golf ball in ANSYS Fluent
 
1 Attachment(s)
How do I simulate a spinning golf ball in Ansys fluent. I am still new in using Ansys fluent and trying to simulate a spinning golf ball with dimples to study its drag and lift coefficient when the size of dimple is manipulated. I have read some research stating that they imposed a rotating motion on the whole wall domain and the surface of the golf ball as well. But how do I do that? I tried imposing a rotating motion on my domain (symmetry) but can’t as it is not considered as a wall in the boundary conditions. Only the golf ball surface was considered a wall.
