Hi Yall,
I am studying dynamic stability derivates of aerospace vehicles. I am trying to set up an analysis that has the following steps:
- Steady initial conditions with the local frame not moving relative to the global frame (this works fine)
- I then need to run a transient study where I pitch, roll, and translate my vehicle.
I have successfully achieved my results using dynamic meshing or using a sliding mesh approach for the rotations.Â
However, I am trying to increase my computational efficiency as I need to run many such cases. I am trying to run my case using a single moving reference frame for the entire domain, as sketched below in 2d. Doing so, however, produces very weird results. I have sizeable static pressure variations across my domain in the far field.Â
I am currently using the pressure far field for my entire boundary condition, with a constant Mach and constant direction. Additionally, I activated the frame motion for my entire domain and set a constant rotation and a constant translation.
 Am I approaching this correctly? Should I instead define things as moving meshes? If possible, I'd like to avoid the need to use dynamic or sliding meshes.
Additionally, I've attached a picture of a constant rotation-only vector and pressure field. In this case, the frame rotates counterclockwise. Thank you for your time!

Hello Nathaniel,Â
the moving reference frame (MRF) approach is not meant for unsteady analyses 10. Modeling Flows with Moving Reference Frames
For transient studies, I would recommend you stick to Dynamic Mesh or Sliding mesh models.
