couette Taylor flow & Solver

sasanghomi · November 23, 2017, 11:13

Hello everybody,

I am trying to simulate the fluid flow between two cylinders which is called taylor couette flow. So, the flow is compressible and also I need to have viscose work term in the energy equation (because I need to calculate the windage loss). Does anybody know which solver is appropriate for this simulation? (I think rhocentralfoam does not have viscose term)

Hi Sasan,

I've done couette flow with buoyantPimpleFoam before -- have you looked into using it or rhoPimpleFoam?
