Hello Everyone, I am simulating a small wind turbine using Ansys Fluent 19.0. Because of problem periodicity only one third of the fluid domain is simulated. The generated power is calculated using this equation: P=T*omega, with T is the rotor torque. My question is: the torque in this equation, is-it the calculated torque found by Ansys multiplied by 3 or only the calculated value ?.
Thank you.
Hello Somaya Younoussi ,
Have a great day!
If in modeling the other two-thirds are symmetric, the value obtained is the total value.

Erfan Rahimi, thank you for your answer. But I didn't understand what you mean by 'If in modeling the other two-thirds are symmetric'. The fluid domain is a one third cylinder with two periodic boundaries. The fluid behaviour in this simulated part is symmetric to other two-thirds.
Somaya Younoussi, So the power(P=T*omega) is generally calculated. (Note again if the fluid behavior is modeled symmetrically).
