Card 9 - ROT_FX Rotational Effects Definition
This optional card specifies the parameters and options for defining rotational effects.
Parameters: KODE, N1, T1,
T2, T3
KODE
KODE is the code KODE = ROT_FX (or 86)
N1
N1 is the ROT_FX card ID. Cards with the same ID reference the same
rotational effects definition.
T1 = ROT_FXS
T1 = ROT_FXS (or 121) specifies the type of rotation effects in
T2.
T2 = NEGLECT_ROTneglects wall rotations.T2 = CORRECT_ROTcorrects for wall rotations.T2 = RELTEMP_REFuses relative temperature reference frame.
T1 = SWIRL
T1 = SWIRL (or 125) indicates the type of swirl to be used for total
temperature corrections.
T2 = VELOCITYuses swirl velocity.T2 = RATIOuses swirl ratio.T2 = DEL_TEMPuses relative temperature difference.
T1 = SWIRL_DEL_TEMP
T1 = SWIRL_DEL_TEMP (or 124) specifies a relative temperature
difference for total temperature corrections.
- If the relative temperature difference is constant, then its value is specified in T2.
- If the relative temperature difference is table dependent, then T2 is a table multiplier and T3 has the form Tn, for example, T25 where n is a table number referencing the TABTYPE or FIELDTYPE cards. The dependent variable on the TABTYPE card must be TEMP.
- If the relative temperature difference is calculated using an expression, then T2 is an expression multiplier and T3 has the form En, for example, E25 where n is an expression number referencing the EXPRESSION card.
T1 = SWIRL_RATIO
T1 = SWIRL_RATIO (or 123) specifies a swirl ratio for total
temperature corrections.
- If the swirl ratio is constant, then its value is specified in T2.
- If the swirl ratio is table dependent, then T2 is a table multiplier and T3 has the form Tn, for example, T25 where n is a table number referencing the TABTYPE or FIELDTYPE cards. The dependent variable on the TABTYPE card must be NUMBER.
- If the swirl ratio is calculated using an expression, then T2 is an expression multiplier and T3 has the form En, for example, E25 where n is an expression number referencing the EXPRESSION card.
T1 = SWIRL_VELOCITY
T1 = SWIRL_VELOCITY (or 122) specifies a swirl velocity for total
temperature corrections.
- If the swirl velocity is constant, then its value is specified in T2.
- If the swirl velocity is table dependent, then T2 is a table multiplier and T3 has the form Tn, for example, T25 where n is a table number referencing the TABTYPE or FIELDTYPE cards. The dependent variable on the TABTYPE card must be VELOC.
- If the swirl velocity is calculated using an expression, then T2 is an expression multiplier and T3 has the form En, for example, E25 where n is an expression number referencing the EXPRESSION card.
T1 = FLOW_ROTATION_STATIONARY_STRUCTURES
T1 = FLOW_ROTATION_STATIONARY_STRUCTURES (or 6) specifies how the
rotation speed value for the case of a fluid adjacent to a stationary wall to
account for swirl velocity in the fluid is defined in T2.
T2 = ROT_SPEEDspecifies rotation speed value.T2 = AUTOMATICrotation speed value computed by the thermal solver. The thermal solver finds the maximum rotation velocity among rotation wall elements connected to the stationary wall through the fluid elements.
T1 = ROT_SPEED
T1 = ROT_SPEED (or 7) specifies the rotation speed value in T2.
- If the rotation speed value is constant, then its value is specified in T2.
- If the rotation speed value is table dependent, then T2 is a table multiplier and T3 has the form Tn, for example, T25 where n is a table number referencing the TABTYPE or FIELDTYPE cards. The dependent variable on the TABTYPE card must be NUMBER.
- If the rotation speed value is calculated using an expression, then T2 is an expression multiplier and T3 has the form En, for example, E25 where n is an expression number referencing the EXPRESSION card.
