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–Bulkley–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.
