Hello, i trying to simulate a multiphase flow inside a rotating tube, could anyone help me to find out how to add a rotating bondary condition on the wall plz??
Thank you in advance

On the the wall, select sliding boundary condition, and in velocity field type radial_vel*ny and - radial_vel*nx for x, y field components if the axis of rotation is z axis. radial velocity is the equal to tube radius*2*pi*rotation_per_second*

Best wishes,

thanks for your reply but in the multiphase flow there is no sliding wall option, you can only find slip condition without being able to add anything unlike the single flow model where you can add a tangential velocity to your wall.

Hi Rodrigue,

Did you manage to find out a way to acheive this?
