Two Zone Turbine Blade with Tip Clearance
This case represents internal flow through a turbine. The geometry is periodic and only one instance of the blade needs to be meshed. The grid includes the solid region of the blade to form a two zone grid that can be used to model conjugate heat transfer.
Complexities:
- Tip Clearance between blade and casing
- Different cell requirements for fluid and solid regions
- Curved periodic surface along which prisms grow
