10.5 Mesh Setup for a Multiple Rotating Reference Frame

Two mesh setup methods are available. Choose the method that is appropriate for your model, noting the restrictions in Section  10.3.1.

• If the boundary between two zones that are in different reference frames is conformal (i.e., the mesh node locations are identical at the boundary where the two zones meet), you can simply create the mesh as usual, with all cell zones contained in the same mesh file. A different cell zone should exist for each portion of the domain that is modeled in a different reference frame. Use an interior zone for the boundary between reference frames.

• If the boundary between two zones that are in different reference frames is non-conformal (i.e., the mesh node locations are not identical at the boundary where the two zones meet), follow the non-conformal mesh setup procedure described in Section  6.4.4.
