Wind Turbine Simulation using Multiple Reference Frame
 

Hi all,
I'm totally new to SU2.
I want to analyze torque output from wind turbine. According to some references, this work can be done using multi reference frame with one stationary domain and one rotary domain inside the stationary domain.

Does this case can be done in SU2? Because I didn't see any test case file that similar with this case.

Or this simulation can be done by using only Single Reference Frame like the cardonna-tung test case? Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

My recommendation is to take a look at the TestCases/turbomachinery/centrifugal_stage

Best,
Francisco

Dear Francisco,

I have take a look at that test case, but I encountered this error when I executed the .cfg file:

Error in "void CConfig::SetConfig_Parsing(char*)":
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
MARKER_NRBC: invalid option name. Check current SU2 options in config_template.cfg.
MIXING_PROCESS_TYPE: invalid option name. Check current SU2 options in config_template.cfg.
MARKER_MIXINGPLANE: invalid option name. Check current SU2 options in config_template.cfg.
MARKER_TURBO_PERFORMANCE: invalid option name. Check current SU2 options in config_template.cfg.

------------------------------ Error Exit -------------------------------

To solve that problem, I've checked the config_template.cfg and replaced those variables with the variables from config_template.cfg file. But still, It cannot works:

Error in "void CConfig::SetConfig_Parsing(char*)":
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
MARKER_GILES: must have a number of entries divisible by 9
MARKER_TURBOMACHINERY: must have a number of entries divisible by 2

Hi everyone, I've just faced the same error message and found out that the source of the problem was related to the boundary namings in the mesh file.

I had named the boundaries with spacings between names e.g: "R1 Inlet". Later on, when I created the configuration file for SU2, I used the name exactly in that form and that gave me the same error as the one in the previous post. Then, I only removed the spacing in the name and made it "R1Inlet", the problem was solved.

I wanted to share the experience. It might be helpful to someone.
