Dear Foamers,
I am running a similar case that is described in propeller tutorial. In this case the fluid inlet velocity is in -ve y direction and the axis of rotation is +ve direction, is this correct to start with ? I had started my simulations with the same set of directions and it had ran for about a week, but I found that the vortex are not being shed, is it because of this direction issue? Also suppose if I found that its incorrect and intent to restart the simulations, will it be possible if I change the axis of rotation to -ve direction and re-run from the latest time step? Any help is highly welcomed, it will save my enormous amount of time. Thanks ! |

Hi Chandrashekar, If you think it makes sense to continue the simulation from the latestTime step, of course you can change the entries of dynamicMeshDict, and run from the latestTime step.

Hello K Rao,
Many thanks for the reply and help. But I am still wondering that if the inlet velocity is in -ve direction then it will force the propeller to rotate in clockwise direction (from the right hand thumb rule), now if I am having the impose rotational axis to be +ve which is counter-clock wise direction (which I assume according to the convention). Then don't you think that there will be some problem ? Although I have a created a similar set-up that of the tutorial, -ve v inlet velocity, domain extending in -ve y axis from inlet at 10 and outlet at -90, exactly similar to that of the tutorial case. But yet I am not able to see the vortex sheding in this case. Just become a bit anxious that, is this what is creating an issue. Hope you understand that a considerable time has already been spend from my side on this case. I am referring to the propeller tutorial, what you think about this case? Thanks a lot! |
