It is harder and it takes longer to provide support without full details.To speed up the process and quickly solve your issues this is a reminder to post as much information as you possibly can:

  • A description of the project and what you are trying to achieve
  • An description of what is happening, screenshots or error logs are helpful
  • [Important] Always provide a link to your project so that it is easy to find.

Hi
I am trying to simulate am axial fan with MRF. I have only two solids, one of them acting as Rotating Zone.

I get no error with the mesh, but when I try to simulate I get the error of Multi-Region with CFD simulation.
I am using one region for the “fluid”:

and the other for the MRF:

I don’t what can be the problem…
This is the linl to the project:

Hey Robert, and thanks for using the forum!

Can you please try running your simulation with the Standard mesh algorithm?

Hi,
Thank you for the answer
I tried. It worked, but the simulation diverged, and I suspect that is because the quality of the mesh os very low. I was trying with the hex-dominant, which usually makes better meshes for CFD.

Probably the problem is the same as in this post:

I am testing it.

I think the solution is to create a cell zone for the rotating region. Please do so by creating a mesh refinement, and setup similar to this:

Of course, set up the appropriate lengths.

In the Standard mesher, the cell zones are created automatically, but in the hex mesh you need to create it manually.
