We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hey ANSYS team,

I have a follow up question related to this problem set up. I ran my periodic BC case and compared the results to a 2D Axisymmetric and fully revolved case. The inlet/outlet/wall boundary conditions are the same for all 3 cases. My 2D Axisymmetric and fully revolved case approximately match in terms of flow field comparisons, but the periodic BC does not. 

I varied  equation of state, checked the peridodic conditions for my periodic boundary condition, but the periodic BC results did not change. My shadow/periodic faces match to be conformal 

I build my conformal, periodic BC with these inputs: origin [0,0,0], axis [1,0,0], auto offset

Sometimes the auto offset is computed as +/-90 deg

Is there something that I'm missing? I haven't had this issue before so I wasn't sure if its due to the internal structures inside my domain (see below). Thank you again so much for your patience!
