Hi,

I'm a mechanical engineer with a little Fluent experience. I am designing a wind turbine for a hobby project. It's a drag based turbine, not a lift (wing blade) type turbine. For example:

*

*

* <--- Wind

*

O

*

*

*

*

I need a 2-D CFD package that can have overlaping or sliding meshes. I would like to also try it with some fairings, so not everything will rotate.

If you know of one, I would appreciate your information.

Thanks,

Michael Dewolf
