I want to simulate a rotating design submerged in the milk liquid in a milk pitcher. Should I just set up a flow volume based on a milk pitcher with water on some level or should I simplify the flow region by an “external flow” or “cylinder”?
Thanks for your help.
Hey amelia_xi,
Thanks for posting on the forum.
The decision between using the pitcher geometry or a simplified object depends on whether you want to study the effects on the flow caused by the exact dimensions of the pitcher or just the effects in the flow caused due to the rotating design inside. For the former, it is best to use the internal flow volume through the pitcher, for the latter a simplified design should also be fine since your main focus would then be to just see how the rotating design affects a flow of medium across it.
Simplified geometry also means less computation time and effort, so we do recommend simplified geometry especially if the unchanged version is not the main subject of study.
Let us know if you have more questions or if you were looking for something else!
Best,
