The Rotating Machinery, Phase Transport Mixture Model Turbulent Flow Interfaces
The Rotating Machinery, Phase Transport Mixture Model Turbulent Flow multiphysics interfaces () found under the Multiphase Flow > Rotating Machinery, Phase Transport Mixture Model > Turbulent Flow branch (), are multiphysics interfaces designed to simulate the coupling between phase transport and fluid flow in equipment containing one or more rotating parts. The flow is assumed to be turbulent, that is, to be of high Reynolds number.
When adding a Rotating Machinery, Phase Transport Mixture Model Turbulent Flow multiphysics interface, a Turbulent Flow interface and a Phase Transport interface are added in the Model Builder. A Moving Mesh interface with a Rotating Domain node is added automatically in the Model Builder under the Definitions node. In addition, a multiphysics coupling feature, Mixture Model, is automatically added under the Multiphysics node.
