MRF rotating zone

Hi I wondered if anyone could give me some advice on the rotational velocity for an MRF rotating zone. i am trying to simulate a hydroelectric turbine and have no idea what value to put for rotational velocity as this is something i am trying to discover. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi, and thanks for using the forum!

I would suggest to check flow rate versus rotational speed from similar turbines, in text books or vendor data sheets.

Otherwise you could perform a trial and error process using simulation, until you find a balance between the input and output. I am sure we have offered guidance on this process in the past for forum users, please use the search function.
