I am Alexandre a French engineering student working on a Savonius rotor. In order to have faster simulations, I decided to study a 2D model of the rotor. However, I heard that the software CFD Simulation uses a height of 1mm as a default height. However, I would like to study the influence of the height on my Savonius rotor performance.
Does someone know how to change the height on a 2D model ?
If there is an influence of hieght, then it should not be studied as a 2D analysis. Your comment is also not precise, Simulation CFD uses a unit depth for 2D geometry - if your analysis units are meters, then your height is 1 meter.
Hello and thank you for this answer. My analysis units are the meters and I saw indeed that CFD simulation uses "a unith of deph" but I though it was "1mm" as I input all my lengh in mm in inventor. Can you confirm that in 2D the height of my Savonius is 1m then ?
Oh ok I though you meant physical units (thus it would have been the meter). But no, I am indeed in mm in CFD simulation ! Is it possible to switch to meters in order to have a one meter tall rotor then ?
