  I am working on the vertical axis wind turbine project. I have attached the picture in 2D.
  
  Wind direction is from negative X to the positive X direction.
  
  I applied 200 rpm in fluent and the rotational axis as (0 0 1) in fluent setup.
  
  I am getting negative moment values when I put moment center as (0 0 0) and moment axis as (0 0 1). but I get the positive moment when I put (0 0 -1) direction.
  
  Thanks Yash
