Hey guys,

I am currently doing my master thesis in rotor aerodynamics for a small scaled helicopter. The first step before I include the main rotors in my mesh is to make a simplified verison of the model.

My idea is to create a infinite thin disc over my helicopter body to simulate the flow of the rotor blade. The model will be simulated in a box which acts as a windtunnel (with a certain freestream velocity).

Is there a easy way to model a disc in Star CCM+? I was wondering about this due to the fact that adding the disc will create a discontinuity in velocity and pressure around the rotor.

Great forum btw
