[ICEM] ICEM propeller issue

metmet · July 1, 2016, 10:03

Dear all,
I'm going to simulate the rotating propeller using MRF technique in Ansys-Fluent. The case is a propeller inside a pipe which the inner wall is very closed to propeller blades, so I'm not able to provide a cylinder as an interface around it. This cause some errors during the simulation. In order to, the geometry doesn't let me to make the pipe wall as a rotating zone. Therefor, I can't rotate the wall.
the geometry is designed using Solid work and mesh will be generated using ICEM.

Any help in this case to show me the procedure of this kind of meshing, would be welcome.
