Simulation for VAWT and diffuser

I’m trying to do a CFD simulation for a (rotating) vertical wind turbine with a diffuser. The diffuser would be a separate part and would not be attached to the turbine. Is this possible to do in Simscale? If yes, does the geometry assignment will be the same as that of a turbine only?

Hi, this is Fillia! This is a simulation that you can perform with SimScale, would you like to create a new project and upload your geometry? I can send you some documentation pages to help you with this :slight_smile:
Best regards,

I’m still designing the diffuser that will be included in the project. It would be very helpful if you can send those documentation pages. Thanks!

You can check these pages regarding preparing a geometry with a MRF region:

As indicated in these pages, you will have to extract the turbine and diffuser from the air domain, and just keep the latter and the MRF region.

To learn about the Standard meshing algorithm, visit this page:

And you can also browse the public projects library for turbine projects:

If anything comes up with the project, feel free to create a new forum post, we will be happy to discuss it and provide help!

Best regards,
Fillia
