Using Sliding MeshesIntrodu ctionThe analysis of turbomachinery often involves the examination of the unsteady effectsdue to flow interaction between the stationary components and the rotating blades
Inthis tutorial, the sliding mesh capability of FLUENT is used to to analyze the unsteadyflow in an axial compressor stage
The rotor-stator interaction is modeled by allowingthe mesh associated with the rotor blade row to rotate relative to the stationary meshassociated with the stator blade row
This tutorial demonstrates how to do the following:• Create periodic zones
• Set up the unsteady solver and boundary conditions for a sliding mesh simulation
• Set up the grid interfaces for a periodic sliding mesh model
• Sample the time-dependent data and view the mean value
