I'm trying to simulate flow past a rotating elliptic cylinder using sliding-mesh. There is a "rotating-domain" and a "stationary domain". The mesh interface between them has been defined. Although, in the boundary conditions, it shows the interface as 'Wall'. I'm given to understand that there shouldn't be any interior walls between the two domains. So, how can I remove these interior walls?

Thank you.

Please can you post an image of the geometry? Remember that the fluid cells also have an interior condition that represents the cell surfaces (edge in 2d & facet in 3d) so you might be looking at those. n

Hello Rob. Thank you for responding.nUsing the 'Add frozen' and 'boolean' operation, I've made three separate bodies - 1) Rotating domainn 2) Stationary domain n 3) elliptical cylindernnn

If you're retaining the solid part into the Fluent model set it to be in the same part as the rotating zone. Otherwise that looks fine. n
