hi
i am trying to simulate a three blade HAWT using MRF. by that, i will try to determine the moment coefficient. however, to find the torque, i need to input the data for area and length in the reference values task panel. i don't know what values to put. please find below the geometry of my 3D wind turbine and the dimensions for the domains:- diameter of primary fluid domain: 4m diameter of secondary fluid domain: 1.08m length to inlet upstream of wind turbine: 2m length to exit downstream of wind turbine: 4m questions: 1. what reference values for area and length should i use? 2. from what boundary should i compute the reference values? anyone, please, any help will be most appreciated thanks.
