Hi people,

I have done some 3D simulations on a propeller to find both thrust and torque using the actuator disk model. Furthermore, I have verified and validated the solver and the results are as expected. Now, I have come to a quick question regarding the swirl on the rotor. I am trying to see how the swirls look like on the rotor since the body forces implemented in the RotorDiskSource take the swirl into account. For this purpose, I have extracted some data on the disk of a thickness say dx. The data is x, y, z, r, theta, and radial distance on the rotor. Also, I have extracted the radial, axial, and tangential velocities. Based on this information, I would like to make a plot so that I will be able to see the swirl on the disk. So far non of these extracted data provides what I need. Is there any way to see how the swirl look like on the actuator disk model for a 3D simulation?

Thanks in advance and sorry for the weird questions,

The problem has been solved. Thank you all.

Hello,
I am simulating the effects of propeller on the air intake, and I need some help in implementing the boundary conditions. The test simulation I ran seems to give a streamtube that does not contract and the disk appears to be in windmill state. How can I implement the Boundary conditions for the propeller.

I have to do simulations on a propeller to find both thrust and torque using the actuator disk model. Also need to find swirl on the rotor. I am trying to see how the swirls look like on the rotor since the body forces implemented in the RotorDisk Source take the swirl into account.
please do help in modelling and setup of boundary conditions.
Thanks in advance
