OpenFOAM tutorial: MRF approach - Simulation of mixing tank

foamiste · December 1, 2021, 04:20

Known for its low computational cost and sufficient accuracy, the MRF approach is used for modeling of relative motion between the stationary baffles/internals and the rotating impeller blades. in agitated systems. This approach considers the rotation of wall (impeller) without moving the mesh by making necessary changes in the momentum equation.

I created a video in my Youtube channel explaining how to use the MRF approach for rotation modeling in an agitated tank.
