Summary

This tutorial illustrates the procedure for setting up and solving problems with multiple reference frames using ANSYS FLUENT. Although this tutorial considers only one rotating fluid zone, extension to multiple rotating fluid zones is straightforward as long as you delineate each fluid zone.

Note that this tutorial was solved using the default absolute velocity formulation. For some problems involving rotating reference frames, you may wish to use the relative velocity formulation. See the ANSYS FLUENT User's Guide for details.
