Hi guys

I'm working on a car electroplate case. It is about a car rotate and translate in a big water tank. I tried dynamic mesh for both rotation and translation. But as you can imagine, the mesh twisted so hard and give me errors about negative volume. So i am thinking about applying interface boundary for the car rotational region, and apply mesh motion in it. Then use dynamic mesh only for the outter interface which does not rotate.

Anyone done that before? Is that possible? please help me, my boss is killing me

Thank you.

I nailed it!! write a udf contains both CG_MOTION and ZONE_MOTION. Compile it and apply ZONE_MOTION in the mesh motion(in cell zone conditions). And apply CG_MOTION in dynamic mesh part.

Here is something important.
1.CG_MOTION should only contain the translational velocity but not the rotational velocity.
2.CG_MOTION should be applied to all the moving boundaries including those you already defined in mesh motion

here is my udf, hope it is helpful.


#include "udf.h"
DEFINE_CG_MOTION(dong, dt, vel, omega, time, dtime)
{
vel[0]=0.1;
vel[1]=-0.3;
vel[2]=0;
}

DEFINE_ZONE_MOTION(rotor, omega, axis, origin, velocity, time, dtime)
{
real ox1, oy1;

*omega = 1;

ox1 = -2.3+0.1*(time+dtime);
oy1 = 0.8-0.3*(time+dtime);
origin[0] = ox1;
origin[1] = oy1;
origin[2] = 0.0;
}

Hello and thanks for the case
I am using the DEFINE_GRID_MOTION and the DEFINE_GEOM macros for the UDF of mine. My case is a 2D case with a moving part. I have been getting the negative mesh error constantly and don't know how to solve the problem. Do you have any idea how this can be solve?

I think the reason you get negative volume is because the displacement of you boundary in some time step is bigger than the size of your mesh, try to coarsen your mesh or reduce the size of you time step.

sorry for reply late, it's been so busy of me.

Hello lostmind
Thanks alot for your reply.
I will try this to see what is the problem but I will post the pictures I get to show you what is going on,I tried first with the very coarse mesh but still got the same error.

and please put some pics about your dynamic mesh settings in Fluent. My email 1067542448@qq.com
