June 13, 2014, 01:14	Unsteady Fan Simulation Time step	#1
rvl565 Member RacMat Join Date: Jan 2013 Posts: 78 Rep Power: 14	Hi, I have been running unsteady fan simulations in fluent using the sliding mesh technique. I am not sure what time step i am supposed to use. Till now i have been using dt = the time take by the fan to rotate 1 degree. How should i determine dt? Also how should i determine how many iterations per time step to use? Thanks
