Is ANSYS Suitable For Simulating "Revolving Wings" Rotating 360 Degrees In Airflow?

Mike_Aerodynamics · November 4, 2022, 07:10

Hello, new member and CFD beginner here.

I want to work on the new problem of Revolving-Wing Wind Turbines which consist of only 1 vertical wing constantly turning 360 degrees around its Y_axis like these guys on Youtube are doing:

I am new to CFD and have not used ANSYS before.

Can ANSYS simulate airflow turning such a vertical wing 360 degrees with lift force and drag around a center shad5?

Is it a suitable CFD solution for this problem?

Thank you for any advice!

I don't know how the wing looks like when standing still, when it is rotating around a fixed axis, than this can be done quite easily.
