Rotating Shaft Conditions
Using a Rotating Shaft feature, the velocity of the shaft boundary is defined by assuming solid body rotation of the shaft. The wall velocity is hence a function of the angular velocity
w
(SI unit: rad/s) of the shaft, and the (spatial frame) position
x
:
(3-4)
where
r
ax
and
r
bp
is the rotation axis direction and rotation base point, respectively.
