Dear All,

I need to calculate power coeff. so I ask FLUENT to print me moment. I use this moment to calculate power coeff. in this way;

P=T*W where T:torque (moment that I can get from FLUENT), W:rot. speed [rad/s]

CP=p/(1/2*rho*A*U^3) where rho:density, A:area, U:freestream vel

But the CP that I calculate in this way is the half of the CP that I calculate analytically...

If someone knows sth about this I will be glad.

Thanks
Busra
