air cylinder

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I modeled a rotating air cylinder that is divided in 4 quarters. I am trying to find out pressure distribution across the cylinder. My idea is the pressure would be accommodate at the outer walls of the cylinder due to the centrifugal force and also with the wall of quarter that would push the air along with it.

For more viscous fluids it behaves as I thought but for air's dynamic viscosity. It is totally opposite.
The model is attached. If any one can give suggestion? as I neither know about fluid dynamics nor much about Comsol
