Hello everyone,
I have a question concerning symmetry planes.
I want to model a static mixer and a surrounding cooling structure.
I want to simulate the flow through the mixer first, and then model the heat transfer in a second step. Because the mixer is symmetric along the main flow axis, I would like to use a symmetry plane. However, the surrounding cooling structure is not symmetric, and thus would have to be modeled completely.
My question is: Can I mirror the result from the flow simulation to get the flow field of the full mixer, and then use the full flow field for the heat transfer step?
I know I can mirror results to get a plot of the full mixer, but I don't just want a plot but actually use the data for a further simulation step. Is this possible?
Best regards,
Moritz
