COMSOL rotating machinery problem

30na · August 23, 2015, 11:07

Hi there, I am quite new to COMSOL. I am trying to simulate a rotating container (with rotating machinery) which is filled with a fluid and has no flow inlet or outlet. I also wish to release some particles (with particle tracing module) in this container and track their paths, so there is a particle inlet and outlet but none for the flow.
Can this be done? I encountered an error while trying to do this?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi. Yes it can be done, just make sure to do a correct setup of all domains and boundary conditions. Good luck.
