be_inspired is on a distinguished road
Hello,

I am trying to simulate a wind turbine with OpenFoam. The simulation has been solved by Fluent with moving reference frame method, and the wall of the blade and hub with zero relative velocity with respect to adjacent cell ( there is a periodic condition for meshing only 120 grades).( k-epsilon , standard wall function model into fluent)

Now, I want to compare with OpenFoam and study the possibilities to solve this kind of simulations within the wind energy field.

Could anyone help me with some information about how simulate wind turbine simulations or turbomachinary simulations?

Thank you very much.
