The numerical solution is achieved with finite volume method and the rotordynamic coefficients are evaluated from several simulations with different rotor precessions.
Two typical methods used for the prediction of stiffness and damping coefficients are the 3D CFD based method (see e.g. [9], [8], [4]) and the bulk-flow model (see e.g. [10], [3]).
The simulations presented in this paper were obtained by in-house finite volume code developed specifically for the analysis of seal flows.
One can see large difference in radial component of the force between 3D CFD results and the simplified bulk-flow code.

To this aim, a design procedure based on seven steps has been defined and reported below. 1) Generation of a parametric CAD model for the swept-mounted airfoil installed in the wind tunnel with flat walls. 2) CFD mesh generation associated to the CAD model. 3) CFD flow simulations for the “infinite span” WT model, replacing solid sidewalls with periodic boundaries. 4) Extraction of typical streamlines shape from the CFD solution back to the CAD environment. 5) CAD design of the contoured sidewalls based on the reference streamline. 6) CFD mesh generation for the contoured WT configuration. 7) Flow simulation for the contoured WT configuration.

The values of experimental study and current CFD study are found to be in good agreement.
Simulation is carried out from 0º to 20º.
While the graphs clearly follow the trend and the simulation data does match the experimental results, there is a slight variation which is due to the computational errors from the CFD codes.

In order to capture details of transient turbulent flow, large eddy simulation (LES) is employed.
CFD Methodology.
In this study, the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software ANSYS-Fluent is employed, and particularly, the large eddy simulation (LES) method is used to capture the transient turbulent flow field.
