Rotating grooved tire
 

Hi everyone,

I am new in CFD, i am working with a rotating wheel in OpenFOAM. The rim of the wheel has spokes and the tire has lateral grooves.

The paper suggests to apply different methods of rotation to the same set wheel/tire.

I am with troubles to define these MRF regions. They are many, i didn't find a similar case to define it. Do you think should i create a patch for rim, lateral grooves and longitudinal grooves + shoulder?

Thank you very much for your attention!

Best regards,
Rafael
