I have tried everything I knew in FLUENT but I still could not rotate a very simple turbine (mesh attached below) I created in fluent using SDOF solver with inlet velocity 10 m/s. Can anyone please have a look at the mesh below and give it a try to rotate it using SDOF solver (rotation of the wind turbine should be dependent on the incoming wind velocity). I have even attached the UDF I am using to rotate this turbine. I have seen a lot of tutorials but all show application of SDOF solver in 2D simulations. I am putting, display/mesh-outline and display/hard-copy "tur_%t.jpg" to get a picture of my mesh after every time-step (to see whether turbine is rotating or not). I dont know where I am going wrong.
I have even attached the geometry file (IGS) in case the mesh file does not open.
If someone could rotate this turbine and tell me how they went about it, it would do wonders for my project.
Kind Regards
Samarth
Hello Mr. Samarth Jain,
I have been also working on 3-D turbine with 6-DOF. I would loke yo ask you that Were you able to sort your problem out. I an still trying to solve ny problem as well. I couldn't even rotste the turbine I work in 3-D. If you solved the problem could you please share your valuable opinion with me?
