How to Simulate Moving Reference Frames: Rotating Fan by STAR CCM+
This tutorial outlines the steps that are required to set up and run a rotating radial fan analysis. It uses the
Moving Reference Frame model, a steady-state approach that involves two or more frames of reference that
can be stationary or moving relative to each other.
The problem involves an idealized fan assembly whose axis and 12 equally spaced blades are rotating at 2,000
rpm while the external body remains stationary.
