Hi,

First of all, thanks for the great work done on SU2. I'm very happy to have a free solver that runs on windows and doesn't need any complicated compilation with gnu tools (this means I'm running the executables without having compiling capabilities).

I would like to run a Navier-Stokes simulation on a wind turbine blade in a sector of 120° (three bladed turbine).

Supposing I have a valid grid...

1. How do I set the blade to move (rotate) in absolute coordinates?

(to get a moving wall, without moving the whole flow field)

I also read something about SU2_PBC in other posts, it seems to be a preprocessor for grids with periodicity.

2. Is that right?

Thanks,

Gerrit
