It seems consistent, as long as you didn't change cellDepth in the mesh file, which I don't think you did because there is no reason to.

I do not think there is reason enough to fudge the...

Did you use the 'f' file to get the performance figures? Can you post it? I can see if it is consistent with your experimental parameters.

Glad I could help. That is very cool that you built a physical model; I am looking forward to seeing your paper when it becomes available!

At one point I was using the NACA airfoils, but without the inflation layer. If you really wanted to, it would not be terribly difficult to implement. Gmsh uses a simple C-based language, and the...

Ah, one more thing.

In 'fixBoundary' you have to edit it to exclude the inclusion of the 2 additional blades. It is at the bottom of the script. You can replace the following section:

Yes, once you want to view the results, 'paraFoam' will bring up a GUI, in which you can view the p and U fields, surface distributions, etc. It is pretty straightforward to use and there...

Actually they are not consistent. I think you solved it. I made a change to the github files for rampedAxisRotationMotion.C. All I did was delete the degToRad() conversions.

Can you go into your newly named folder and run 'moveDynamicMesh'?

This will move the mesh, but will not solve for anything. Thus, you can see if there is a mismatch of the predicted motions of...

Well, if you get errors in setting it up, there is no use running it.

Are you also new to Linux? If not, the errors should be pretty clear.

You need to run 'chmod +x fixBoundary'. 'setup' is a...
