Hi guys,

I am trying to apply a UDF to move one of the wall of a cubic tank in order to generate wave in the fluid inside.

Regarding these thread I found:

UDF for moving wall (oscillating)
udf for sinusoidally oscillating wall

It seems that I am in a very similar case, because I need to move just one of the faces (let's say along the x-axis for example) to obtain the effect.
Essentially I do not grasp if these codes are moving one wall back and forth, because the key point of simulation is that my wall goes REALLY back and forth between a starting and an ending position (following a cosinusoidal law for the x-velocity that I wrote).

Do they do this? In which part?

#include "udf.h"
#include "dynamesh_tools.h" 
DEFINE_CG_MOTION(oscillate,dt,vel,omega,time,dtime )
{
Thread *t;
face_t f; /* define the variables */
t = DT_THREAD(dt);
begin_f_loop(f,t) /* loop over each face in the zone to create an array of data */
{
vel[0]= sin(time);
}
end_f_loop(f,t)
}

wall will move along x-direction with velocity value = sin(time), change thisa value according to your needs

best regards
