The Rotating Machinery, Laminar and Turbulent Flow Interfaces
The Rotating Machinery, Laminar Flow (spf) and Rotating Machinery, Turbulent Flow (spf) interfaces, found under the Single-Phase Flow>Rotating Machinery branch () when adding a physics interface, are used for modeling flow where one or more of the boundaries rotate in a periodic fashion. This is used for mixers and propellers.
The physics interfaces support compressible, weakly compressible and incompressible flow, the flow of non-Newtonian fluids described by the Power Law, Carreau Bingham-Papanastasiou, Herschel-Bukley-Papanastasiou, and Casson-Papanastasiou models, as well as turbulent flow. In addition, the physics interfaces support creeping flow, although the shallow channel approximation is redundant.
