Periodic Boundaries: Non-conformal

ƒ Set the type of non-conformal periodic zones to interface

ƒ Input the correct axis origin and direction for the adjacent cell zone in the fluid panel
ƒ Define the non-conformal periodic boundaries in the TUI

/define/grid-interfaces> make-periodic
Periodic zone [()] interface-15
Shadow zone [()] interface-2
Rotational periodic? (if no, translational) [yes] yes
Rotation angle (deg) [0] 40.0
Create periodic zone? [yes] yes
grid-interface name [] fan-periodic

ƒ The right hand rule must be used when entering the rotation angle value
ƒ With non-conformal periodic boundaries it is not required to specify the periodicity type in the
periodic panel
