Description
Project Description:
In this project, we aim to analyze a Fluid-structure interaction over a HAWT turbine. In this simulation a flow with the speed of 25 m/s heats the turbine, and the turbine itself rotates with 12 RPM. The FSI process was in one-way which we analyzed a fluid effect on the structure.
The total deformation was around 0.2 m at the tip of the blades. Also, the bending stress and strain have been analyzed too.
The geometry is designed in ANSYS Design Modeler software.
In addition, an unstructured mesh grid is generated using ANSYS Meshing software. As a result, 3,465,821 cells were generated.
Methodology: Fluid-Structure Interaction over HAWT Turbine
Mesh Motion and FSI have been used to simulate HAWT turbine motion. the velocity is 25 m/s and the operating pressure is 101235 pa. The RPM was set to 12 and the hub has been a simple joint.
The fluid is simulated in fluent and structure section modeled in ANSYS Structure.
Results:
As the results obtain the pressure and speed in the domain and the structure section we obtained total deformation, strain, and stress over the turbine.

Does the turbine’s rotation speed affect the deformation results significantly?
MR CFD Support –
In the simulation setup, the rotation speed of the turbine directly impacts the deformation. Since the turbine rotates at 12 RPM, the centrifugal forces applied to the blades due to rotation contribute to the deformation observed, especially at the blade tips. The 0.2 m deformation at the blade tips indicates that the rotation speed has a significant effect, influencing the results.

I am fascinated by the project’s application of FSI to investigate the HAWT turbine vibration. Could you elaborate on how mesh motion was applied to accommodate the turbine’s rotations without compromising the mesh quality during the simulation?
MR CFD Support –
Mesh motion is crucial in simulating the HAWT turbine because it experiences rotation. In this project, we specifically employed Dynamic Mesh techniques equipped with Smoothing and Remeshing tools provided by ANSYS Fluent to ensure that as the turbines rotate, the mesh adapts dynamically. The mesh around the rotating zone, especially near the blades, updates at each time step to maintain the quality needed for accurate results. Automated mesh updates are set to handle deformations due to blade movement, and care is taken to prevent skewness and other quality issues that might negatively affect the solution’s stability and precision.
