flow simulation with moving parts

[alex87alex]

hello to all, I would kindly need your help
I'm designing a turbine, but I need to perform fluid-dynamic calculations on the same. I have available solidworks 2012 and flow simulator. I would like to understand how it is possible to use flow to apply it to my model. I saw on an American forum a question similar to mine and from what I understood I should create a fill volume between the blades and the housing, let it rotate and study the gas contained in the volume itself, but it seems too laborious.. I wanted to know if it's the right procedure and if you have practical advice. Thank you.

Hello, I exhume this discussion since I have the same problem as alex87alex that I cannot solve, but unfortunately the link shared by drag no longer seems to link to the associated page. I'm a mechanical engineering student and I'm doing a thesis on a bulb turbine and I'd really like that link. Thank you!
