MRF-Boundary Condition U and equivalent for SRF Urel
 
Hei,

i have a hard time bc I have to do a MRF and a SRF Simulation of a pump turbine- in my MRF my U look like this:

Code:

    }
}

// ************************************************************************* //

the simulation looks goof to me. But I don't understand what the radial component exactly is. is the 10 m/s a velocity in Cartesian or cylindrical components? I think in cylindrical bc you have to define axial and radialvelocity. How can I understand the 10 m/s in radial direction? is this an absolut velocity or a relativ?

how can I find the equivalent for Urel for the SRF simulation.

I found this in on of the tutorials

Code:

dimensions      [0 1 -1 0 0 0 0];

internalField  uniform (0 0 0);

boundaryField
{
    IF_LAUF_LEIT
    {
        type            SRFVelocity;
        inletValue      uniform (-10 0 0);
        relative        no;
        value                uniform (0 0 0);
    }

everything else stays the same as in the MRF.

what exactly is the inlet value? and do I need to put relativ yes or no?

To compare both simulation I need equal BC... But I don't understand if the SRFVelocity Vektor is in cartesian coordinates or also in cylindrical like the BC at the MRF ?

Can someone help me please...:confused:
