Boundary Condition
Inlet velocity=10.3m/s

Rotational speed of fluid region=72 rpm


Fluid property=incompressible-ideal-gas Periodic B.C. type= Rotational

Solver Details
Pressure- Based Steady state K-omega-sst solver and Spalart Almaras Turbulence Model is used At first the solution was run with first order momentum till 1500 iteration, then it was changed to 2nd order momentum (As instructed by Dr. Ali)

Remarks
As it can be seen that Cp distribution pattern is computed similar to the experimental results. However there is considerable amount of deviation from the experimental Cp value near the blade tip. I am now running the solution for 2 more cases with 15.2m/s and 6.3 m/s
