16.2.6. Variables Relevant for Calculations with a Rotating Frame of Reference

The following table contains a list of variables (with both long and short variable names) that can be used when working with a rotating frame of reference. For an explanation of the column headings, see List of Field Variables.

Long Variable Name	Short Variable Name	Units	Availability	Definition
Total Pressure in Stn Frame	ptotstn	[kg m^-1 s^-2]	2 A, C, M, P, R, TS	The velocity in the rotating frame of reference is defined as: where is the angular velocity, is the local radius vector, and is velocity in the stationary frame of reference. For details, see Rotating Frame Quantities in the CFX-Solver Theory Guide.
Total Temperature in Stn Frame	Ttotstn	[K]	2 A, C, DT, M, P, R, TS
Total Enthalpy in Stn Frame	htotstn	[kg m^2 s^-2]	2 A, C, M, R, TS
Mach Number in Stn Frame	Machstn	[ ]	1 A, C, M, R, TS
Velocity in Stn Frame	velstn	[m s^-1]	1 A, C, M, R, TS
