<p><p>Hello everyone,<br><br>I’m currently simulating a water wheel on fluent and I encountered a problem. The water in the blades that exit the water seems stuck and gravity isn’t pulling it down. It is weird because the water has no problem getting inside the rotating mesh, but it seems that it is stuck in the interior.<br>I think it might be due to the interface between the rotating mesh and the stationary mesh, but I used a symmetric interface (I created 2 circular contacts, one with the inner domain (rotating domain) circular boundary as the source and the outer domain circular boundary as the target, and another contact when I switched the source and the target). <\/p><p>I thought that Fluent interpreted the circular boundary of the rotating mesh as a wall, but in that case, the water should still “fall” until it hits the boundary.<\/p><p>but here it seems that there is a force pushing the water up and the latter forms a perfectly horizontal air-water-interface inside the blades that exit the water.<\/p><p>Does someone knows where the problem could come from ?<br><br>Regards, <\/p><p>\"\"<\/p><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-393023","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-air-waterflow-1","topic-tag-mesh-interfaces","topic-tag-rotating-domain"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
