I am trying to analyze a propeller in Fluent. I have a 1/10 pie slice, that includes one of the blades. I am using a pressure inlet, and pressure outlet, on the sides periodic condition, on the outside of the slice a slip wall, and then I have the fluid rotating at my desired rpms. Are these correct boundary conditions?
Also I understand the different reference frames that fluent uses, but what does fluent output the inertial frame, the rotating frame? |

I've no idea of how fluent deals with rotating frames but concerning your BC I think that for the external part of the slice you should better have a pressure outlet rather than a slip wall.
