Dear all,
I started to dig into the code of the sixDoFRigidBodyMotion.C while I am running several cases on vortex induced vibration with pimpleDyMFoam from OF2.4.0. The motion solver employs the leapfrog algorithm: Code:
// Update state //- First leapfrog velocity adjust and motion part, required // before force calculation. Takes old timestep for variable // timestep cases. void updatePosition(scalar deltaT, scalar deltaT0); //- Second leapfrog velocity adjust part // required after motion and force calculation void updateAcceleration ( const vector& fGlobal, const vector& tauGlobal, scalar deltaT ); In my case, the fGlobal needs to be calculated from the fluidic forces on the cylinder and the linear damping and stiffness from the a spring. This force calculation procedure should be done before the second leapfrog to update the acceleration. However, I cannot find any code in the .C file relating how the fluidic forces are incorporated. Am I missing something here? Please give me a hint! |
