Hi,

I am new to OpenFOAM. I want to compare the shear stress (wall and fluid/solid) that occurs when a rectangular tank undergoes linear oscillation (in vertical or z-direction).

I was able to do that for the case when the fluid is inside the tank using tutorial 'sloshingTank3D' under the section multiphase with little modification.

But for the collagen/viscoelastic solid case, I am using bimaterial plate (plastic and collagen) in the solidDisplacment tutorial in foam ext-4.0. I modified the mesh as required but i am not sure how to apply harmonic oscillation and calculate the wall shear stress in this case.

This is a small part in my PhD work to complement the experimental results obtained. Can someone guide me through the process on how to do it? Thanks!
