Description
Airflow on the Dimpled Rotating Cylinder CFD Simulation, ANSYS Fluent Training
The problem is going to simulate airflow on the Dimpled Rotating Cylinder by ANSYS Fluent software.
A cylindrical object is placed in the channel. The airflow enters the rectangular channel at a horizontal velocity of 0.45 m / s, and it collides with the cylindrical body.
The cylindrical body rotates at an angular velocity of 20 radians per second (rad/s) around the central axis; thus, the moving wall must be defined.
Therefore, the fluid simulation area is divided into two parts, which include the rotating area (having a cylinder with a constant angular velocity) and the area of the fluid (the inner space of the rectangular channel other than the cylinder).
The cylinder wall has dimples whose protruding position is on the inside of the cylinder and whose recess is on the outside of the cylinder.
The aim is to investigate the pressure distribution and rotational phenomena around a rotating cylindrical wall. Therefore, the presence of dimples on the cylinder surface affects fluid behavior.
The geometry of the present model is three-dimensional and is designed using SOLIDWORKS software. The meshing of the present model has been done using ANSYS Meshing software. The mesh type is unstructured and the element number is equal to 1064903.
Dimpled Methodology
Hence, by creating a cylindrical wall in the form of an interface (a common surface between two areas that allows fluid to flow through its boundary), a special flow area in the form of a hollow cylinder around the wall creates a rotating cylinder; thus, the Frame Motion method is used to simulate the internal cylinder area created at the same speed as the angle of rotation of the main cylinder.
Dimpled Conclusion
At the end of the solution process, we obtain contours of pressure, velocity, and turbulence kinetic energy. Using the MRF method, we can assume the cylinder to be constant and the wind flows around the cylinder to be rotating at the same rotational speed of 20 rad/s around the central axis of the cylinder.
The contours show the velocity and pressure distributions in the domain well.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to know that you found the course details impressive and educational. To answer your question, our meshing technology is highly advanced, and it accurately captures the effects of dimples on the fluid behavior by generating an unstructured mesh with fine enough resolution around the dimples. This ensures that we can closely simulate the impact of the dimples on the airflow pattern around the rotating cylinder. Good to hear that you found the Frame Motion method insightful. It’s such interactions that make training with ANSYS Fluent so valuable!

What is the benefit of using CFD for analyzing the airflow around a rotating cylinder?
MR CFD Support –

Delia Ankunding –
I’m impressed with the detail in the simulation of airflow on the dimpled rotating cylinder. How does the presence of dimples influence the pressure distribution and air behavior compared to a smooth cylinder?
MR CFD Support –
The presence of dimples on the cylinder creates a unique flow pattern around the body, influencing the pressure distribution and the air behavior by enhancing turbulent flow and reducing drag. This effect is different from that of a smooth cylinder, W h ere boundary layers and flow separation points differ due to the smoother surface.

What specific effects do the dimples have on fluid behavior around the cylinder?
MR CFD Support –
The dimples create turbulence in the airflow around the rotating cylinder, which can result in a change in pressure distribution and potentially reduce drag. The contours of pressure, velocity, and turbulence kinetic energy obtained from the simulation help to visualize and understand these effects.
