February 9, 2012, 03:46	Simulation of NREL UAE Phase VI turbine	#1
aqstax Member Abdulqadir Aziz Join Date: Jan 2012 Posts: 45 Rep Power: 0	Hi, I'm trying to simulate the wind turbine in fluent using MRF. Basically, I'm tyring to recreate the whole experiment (wind tunnel included). However, the problem is that the torque produced on my simulation is about half that of the experiment. I'm not sure what could have gone wrong. I'm using a k- $\omega$ SST model with transition. My inlet is 3 diameters upstream while the outlet is 7 diameters downstream of the turbine. Are there any details I need to especially take note of to ensure an accurate simulation, or has anyone faced such a problem before? Thanks in advance! blgypeng and runrunrun like this.
