Hello
I need to model a propeller as an actuator disc in Fluent for an airplane study. I am not sure what boundary condition to apply and also how to model the surface. 1. Is it enough if i create a circular disc surface and name the face as actuator to apply the boundary condition to it? 2. Which condition do i need to use? Is fan sufficient or somethin else? 3. How do I insert coefficients of thrust, power, and torque into the model? Any help will be much appreciated! |
