Savonius Turbine AMI Rotating Zone

[tsite]

Hi there, I see that you are running a simulation with a brand new mesh now, so let me know how this goes - I can not inspect the previous results, as the mesh is now changed-.

However I noticed that some steps described in the following page under the AMI section were left out: Rotating Zones | Advanced Concepts | SimScale

Specifically, you should set a new cell zone, as described in this forum post as well:

Hi there, your current model looks just fine, proceed to the following steps: Deactivate the ‘physics-based meshing’ option in the mesh tab [mesh tab] Set solid 1 as a Cell zone [cell zone] Check my mesh here: https://www.simscale.com/workbench/?pid=4126709855677813309&mi=spec%3A92b09f00-3022-47f3-a74c-c3a5396ffe06%2Cservice%3AMESHING%2Cstrategy%3A16&sh=11 Keep in mind that no-slip walls means that the domain is modeled as a solid boundary.

Also, always use these guides when divergence occurs:
