So, our TSR is 0.01676. We will use this value to estimate the value of Cp.

Check mass flow

Blade velocity (TSR)?

Pressure contours

Torque

Vorticity?

Coefficient of Power (Cp)

To calculate

Cp=Cm (from fluent) * TSR

It will be very small because we have a ridiculously small angular velocity compared to the actual expected.

When extracting the Torque, explain that the Moving Frame of Reference is used to calculate (FOR FEA) omega squared times the radius times the mas of each element to compute the force exerted by the fluid on the blades. (check Wind Blade 2 tutorial, under Physics Setup, second video, around 3:30. It is for FEA, we should get the analogy to fluid before).
