1.1 Introduction

This tutorial is aimed to generating the mesh in Gambit, importing and solving it with MRFSimpleFoam.

1.2 Mesh Generation

  1. generate two cylinders (r1=0.5 h1=1; r2=0.25, h2=0.5) and one cube (h3=0.3)
    Domain generation
  2. substract cylinder 2 from 1 (maintain cylinder 2)
  3. substract cube 3 from cylinder 2
  4. define continuum types (zones): rotor for cylinder 2, and stator for cylinder 1
    Rotor/Stator domain
  5. define boundaries (inlet, outlet, cubeWall, cylindricWall, sliderFace), and couple the interfaces (sliderFace)
    Boundaries
  6. define the coupled interface as INTERIOR
  7. generate tetrahedral mesh (0.05 size)[[Image:]]
  8. export
  9. fluentMeshToFoam ./ simulation geom/mrf.msh -writeSets -writeZones
