### 5.3.2. Rotational Periodicity

In this case, the two sides of the periodic interface can be mapped by a single rotational transformation about an axis. This is the most common case of periodicity and is used, for example, in the analysis of a single blade passage in a rotating machine.

If a domain interface involves rotational periodicity, the axis for the rotational transformation must also be specified.
