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.

How can I set a wall velocity at a fluid-solid interface?

      Create the fluid and solid domains in the usual way. If you are solving a rotating problem, your fluid domain should be set up as a rotating domain, while the solid domain should be stationary. Do not create any wall boundary conditions on these surfaces. Create fluid-solid domain interfaces in the usual way. Once you have created the domain interface, you will see that CFX-Pre has automatically created some boundary conditions for the fluid and the solid side. You can then edit the fluid side boundary condition and set a wall velocity, a rotating wall, or leave the walls as stationary as required. A stationary wall is always stationary with respect the local domain.
