code_saturne User's Forum

hello Yvan,
thanks for your help,but I am very eager for your reply.

just as you said, when i use the geometry that i uploaded,how can I define the interface?or maybe how can i define the mesh?

sometimes I use the conplex geometry,such as the wind turbine with blades,how can I define the interface ? it is not round nor square.

regards

binger

Hello,

There are presentations in the comunity/user meetings section of this website, as well as previous posts in this forum, which may help you. I believe someone is working on a tutorial, but it is not ready yet. In any case, for a turbomachinery mesh, the interface between the rotor and the stator is the part where one mesh can "slide around the other". Simply define surface groups for that part, and volume groups for the stator and rotor.

And I still do not understand why anyone would want to use the turbomachinery module on a cubic mesh, so even when testing on a simplified mesh, you must at least choose something realistic.

Regards,

Yvan
