Rotating RANS

Ry10 · July 16, 2015, 17:08

Hi,

I am attempting to use RANS with a SA turbulence model to analyze an airfoil with a rotating frame. Every time that I add the motion to my config file, it fails. All the examples in the test cases use Euler when rotating. Does SU2 have the capability to do a rotating frame with RANS? If so what parameters need to be defined for that to work?

Thanks!

Ry10,

We have run rotating viscous airfoils successfully in the past, would you mind sharing with us the error message that you are getting? This will give us a better idea of what is going wrong and help us point you to the issue.
