Need help to mesh Wankel engine

Hi, I have a problem very similar to a Wankel engine. So I have got a moving mesh that changes size and shape as the geometry moves. I was wondering if its more efficient to do it in CFX or Fluent. Also, any tip or tutorial on how to mesh it, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I did something similar years ago with StarCD, which should be a suitable code for this type of application.
The biggest problem is not the general mesh movement, but the handling of the gaps between the rotor and the fixed wall. |

Sam,
My first reaction to your message is "why are you not using Star for this application." However, since you are not, for advanced applications like this call ANSYS for advice. Regards |

I only have license for Ansys and Fluent, no access to Star. yes, my main concern is compressing the grid at the seal points.
