Rotating geometry

MFiX How to
#1

I am new to Mfix, but have been using OpenFOAM, Fluent and others for a long time. Mfix looks very interesting but I would like to use it with rotating geometries, for example an impeller in a fluid zone. Is it possible? In openFOAM or Fluent it is quite common.

#2

Yes, this is possible in MFiX, it requires some additional code (UDF) to perform the rotation. Please see the “Rotating drum 3d” and/or “Mixer 3d” tutorials that are distributed with MFiX.

#3

Thanks a lot for the quick response, I will see that
