Hi everyone
I have a turbine model whose axis of rotation is parallel with the X-axis (it sits 10m above it). When you are choosing values for your fluid zone/wall, how do you specify where the axis is? I am inputting a unit vector value of 1 in the X tab but this isnt relating to the real axis Any help would be great David |

I had the same problem, but the rotation axis wasn't even parallel to one of those in Fluent. So i went back and created the geometry again. But in your case I think it is not necessary. Try to specify the rotation-axis origin.in order to do this you must pick any point on your axis and check its coordinates.

How do I specify the rotation axis origin? Is this done in Fluent? |

yes in Fluent, define -> boundary conditions -> zonename ->
you will open the window for defining boudary conditions for the zone you are interested in. rotation-axis origin panel is just next to rotation-axis direction panel. |
