Hi there,
I'm moving a 2.5D cylinder in the x-direction with a prescribed force only (no in-flow) using the 6DOF rigid body solver and have succeeded in moving the internal domain at the same rate with the correct drag coefficient. https://imgur.com/ESICfEr However, i'm currently attempting to move the entire domain (including the boundaries) so that it translates at the exact same rate as the cylinder - Thus having no mesh deformation. The no mesh deformation is very important in this problem. The main question is if this is even possible because i've had no success getting the correct drag coefficient with several different versions of inlet and boundaries conditions. Any help is extremely appreciated - I've been stuck on this problem for a good while. Best regards, Lloyd |

This is part of the CCL that shows the boundary conditions if it's useful.

If i have understood it correctly then you are trying to model the movement of cylinder with particular velocity to calculate the drag coefficient?

Hi there,
I have been able to solve the problem just setting all the boundaries to rigid body motion and splitting the the domain into two subdomains. The boundary conditions applied were a little strange, but it obtain the same drag coefficient as the moving internal domain. Regards, Lloyd |
