To be more precise, i'm using the solver icoDyMFoam of OpenFOAM 1.4.1. The mesh is solved with the following options :

// ---------- dynamicMeshDict ---------
dynamicFvMesh dynamicMotionSolverFvMesh;
motionSolverLibs ("libfvMotionSolvers.so");

Basically, I am looking to do something like:

I have seen many many tutorials and examples where the domain motion is a

Hi,

I experienced a problem when using the post-processing utility R to evaluate the Reynolds stress tensor based on a compressible simulation using a kEpsilon turbulence model. The Reynolds stress tensor is needed as initialization for a RSM simulation.
The problem I experienced is basically related to the compressible nature of my simulation and it seems that the R-utility is written exclusively for

Hi foamers,

I am facing a problem of mapFields taking too long to map fields from a fine mesh to a coarser mesh. I am running simulation using sprayFoam, and want to coarse the mesh to achieve faster solution. So I executed:

in the aacheBomb-coarse directory and it is running without errors. However, it gets
