Hi,<\/p>\n
I am interested in simulating a pitching (NACA) 2D foil using Ansys Fluent. The foil rotates periodically between -5 and 5 degrees about its center of mass, and it is placed in a free stream velocity, as shown in the attached image. I am interested in performing an unsteady simulation on a body-fitted reference frame that follows the rotation of the foil. The mesh in this case will be static, but the fictitious forces terms due to the non inertial frame should be included in the fluid dynamic equations.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1) Is this simulation setup possible with Fluent? Are there any resources on the subject?
2) Going a step further: Would it be possible to assume that the fluid around the foil is initially stationary and that the foil is free to translate along the x and y directions? Namely simulate a self-propelled pitching 2D foil on a non-inertial frame?<\/p>\n
Thank you in advance,
