Dear Foamers:

I am a newbie in openFoam and I am learning with tutorials. Today, I attempted to practice the tutorial movingCone (version meshModifiers). I have not problem with the compilation.


However, I don't understand the code, in particular files: DynamicMeshDict and the meshmodifiers.

What means the following lines in DynamicMeshDict?

movingConeTopoFvMeshCoeffs
{
motionVelAmplitude (-2 0 0);
motionVelPeriod 1e-6;

leftEdge 0;
leftObstacleEdge 2;
rightObstacleEdge 4;

left
{
minThickness 1e-5;
maxThickness 1e-4;
}

right
{
minThickness 1e-5;
maxThickness 1e-4;
}
}

and the lines in meshmodifiers:

2
(
right
{
type layerAdditionRemoval;
faceZoneName rightExtrusionFaces;
minLayerThickness 0.00002;
maxLayerThickness 0.00005;
oldLayerThickness 0;
active true;
}

left
{
type layerAdditionRemoval;
faceZoneName leftExtrusionFaces;
minLayerThickness 0.00002;
maxLayerThickness 0.00005;
oldLayerThickness 0;
active true;
}

Thanks in advance for your help?

Regards,

Olivier
