Generate Fluid Volumes For Axial Turbine Blades

thanushka · October 22, 2019, 01:40

I have created stator blades and rotor blades by using coordinates and used SolidWorks. However, I tried to create fluid volumes for those blades, to simulate in CFX and have not achieved yet. I need to generate the following kind of Fluid volume.

Could you please give me some insights on this?

You could use a Workbench setup of Bladegen->TurboGrid->CFX, which might be simpler and quicker. However, Bladegen may not facilitate curve parameterization, at least not conveniently.

Thanks, Fresty. I have tried Bladegen. But it doesn't facilitate blade creating from given coordinates.

You could import coordinates directly from a .dat file, using data import wizard.
