This example guides you in using the "multiple reference frames (MRF)" method to define and run a fluid flow simulation in a propeller.

You will learn to :

• Use the wizard to define and run a simulation.
• Define fluid regions external to your model.
• Assign materials to fluid sections.
• Generate a mesh of fluid regions.
• Specify the physics of fluid flow.
• Define equation controls for a steady-state step.
• Sketch and define an MRF zone.
• Apply boundary conditions.
• Request data output for relevant variables.
• Check and run a simulation.
• Generate plots to visualize pressure, flow velocity and fluid flow contours.
• Create sensors to estimate forces and moments on your model.
