Created using ANSYS 2020 R1
Learning Goals
In this tutorial, you will learn:
- the basics of developing a CFD solution using ANSYS Fluent
- how to apply boundary conditions and understand the governing equations behind your solution
- how to develop a a 3D mesh, solve for the flow field, and plot results
Problem Specification
The MAE 4021 and 5020 project involves developing a CFD simulation of the flow field for a wind turbine rotor using ANSYS Fluent. The CFD simulation will yield the pressure/velocity distribution around the blade and the power coefficient. A sample blade geometry is given to be used in the simulations as an example was developed by one of the groups performing the senior design component of this course in a prior year. A CAD file containing the blade geometry is provided to you on Canvas (see below for download instructions).
