URGENT!!!!
 
Hello,

Can someone tell me where to define the thrust and torque coefficient for a propeller in FLUENT.

thanks

Hi; I think the trust coeff. is obtained during the calculations. You only can set the propeller rotational speed for an input. After getting a converged solution you can get some reports by defining a "custom field function". ROOZBEH

The problem I need a force T (thrust) to calculate the thrust coefficient. And Fluent doesn't give any value of the force.

If what you need is a matter of post-processing your results, then I think you can use Report > Forces or Report > surface integrals...
