Hello Mr Gschaider,

Thank you.
I think I will first try to understand and work with the distorted Cone example, and then I will implement it for the wave tank.

In your reply you said “But you should try to "go to" point values as early as possible to avoid interpolation artifacts”. I am sorry I did not understand this sentence. If you don’t mind can you please explain.

Thank you,
Gautami.

Try to achieve the same stuff using the pts() and the pos() function, think about why the pulsed-Demo-Case only gets the right parabolic profile using pts() and you will understand

Hello,

thank you for the topic, it was really useful for my work on waves.
Maybe it was said before and I didn't see it, but using movingCone AND interDymFoam, but not groovyBC, I don't manage to modify the movingWall velocity.
Is there a way to modify it directly with the solver? I cannot find the name of the object pointMotionU in interDymFoam, so I cannot modify it. Anyone can help me please? I just miss this variable name.

Thanks a lot,

Regards,

Julien

Hello Mr Gschaider,

At last I could model a wave tank with a piston type wave maker in InterDyMFoam using groovyBC.

Thank you very much for your guidance and prompt replies.

Thankyou,
Gautami.
