Steam turbine, Non equilibrium case

Hi, I'm quite a novice in the use of Fluidodynamic software’s. I have to simulate the stream flow between the blades in a steam turbine.
I'm trying to adapt the non-Equilibrium case, as explained in the Chapter 26 of the CFX tutorials, to my CFX model(an extruded 2D model of a turbine blade). My boundary conditions are: Total inlet temperature: 354 K Total inlet pressure: 0.403 bar Static outlet temperature: 0.0662 bar I'm using a Physical timescale of 0.0005, k-Epsilon model, a quite regular mesh. A message appears during the setting of the CFX model: "In Analysis 'Flow Analysis 1' - Domain 'Default Domain': This compressible multiphase simulation has a single continuous phase and uses a total pressure boundary condition. The dispersed phases will not be included in the total pressure (frozen total pressure assumption)." What does it mean? I noticed that if I use the velocity inlet instead of the total pressure inlet, the simulation works, but I must use the Total Pressure for my simulation. The simulation works for almost 30 Time steps, then it crashes. Suddenly the RMS P-Vol decrease and the Volume fraction of the liquid phase and the turbulence parameters have a great increase (you can see it in the attached image). How can I fix this simulation? Where I'm doing wrong? Thanks to everybody who will answer me! Dmaz |
