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.

Is it possible to have an object naturally move or rotate as if its actually surrounded by a moving fluid (to find TSR)

  I would like to find the TSR of different wind turbine designs but I am not sure how I would make the turbine move due to the wind.
  
  Also, how would I get numerical results of torque and power (coefficient).

  Hello Nirvaan Chadda
  
  Are you using Ansys Discovery?
  
  In Discovery, you can apply force/torque to a body to replicate this effect, but Fluid Solid interaction simulations are currently not possible.
  
  You can try using Ansys Workbench for the same.

  Hello Nirvaan Chadda
  
  I would be able to help you better if you can share the simulation file with me.
  
  I will be sharing a Secure Transfer link via email. Please use the link to share your model.

  Hello Nirvaan Chadda
  
  Please check your email for some sample files I have shared. As there is no FSI capability as I have specified before, you will need to directly apply the fluid pressure on the blades.
  
  Please note the Imprint tool needs to be used to apply both bonded contacts and fixed support on the axel.
