The problem about free surface in a rotating cylin

May 14, 2006, 23:25

I am Ph.D student at BUCT in China. I want to simulate the velocity of free surface when the cylinder with water rotates. If I know the right location of free surface, how to model in CFX? Someone suggested that I should consider the surface as a wall and set it to free slip, and I can get the velocity. Which turbulence models should I choose?
