Dear all,

I am trying to simulate the NREL Phase VI experiment. Here is the setup I have done:





1) General



2) Cell zone conditions

I am treating the whole mesh as a whole Single Moving Reference Frame



3) Boundary conditions

a) inlet - velocity

The frame is absolute, right? Plus I am not sure what to put in the initial pressure gauge value. I only know the velocity value.



b) Blade/rotor

The blade is set a rotating wall

c) Far field

Note the difference in the frame. For the far field I have used absolute frame ( as specified by the user's guide)



d) Outlet: pressure outlet with 0 gauge pressure

4) Solution initialization

Is the reference frame correct?



To conclude, the things I am not really sure about are:

With this setup, the far field is affecting the whole flow because is set as wall, how can I set it to not influence the far field, something like open atmosphere or maybe a free-shear wall?

Have I set the Moving refererence frame correctly?

And what about the initial gauge pressure at the inlet bc?


Any help is greatly welcomed as I am a bit stuck and would really need some experienced help.

Thanks so much,
Federico
