Mixing/Impeller

Hello. I have a brief question concerning Fluent 6.0.

I need to determine the power consumption from an impeller in a mixing tank simulation. I know that I must use the "Report/Forces" toolbar, and that I must select "Moments" as the option. My question is what values must be entered for "Moment Center" (default is x=1,y=0,z=0). Also, when the report is generated, which of the three values under "total moment" (in n-m) should I use, the x, y or z? The help menu does not explain what these options are and what they do.

The center-line axis of my tank is the z-axis, and the impeller rotates clockwise along this axis. I have set up a quarter-tank model and I'm using a multiple reference frame (MRF) model. Thank you for your time!

Regards,

EM

Hi, I am also curious abt the same problem stated. Please tell me if you found solution for this problem.I am also working in mixing tank modelling using MRF. Please be in contact.

Thank you Durai
