Rigid body Rotation about an axis using groovyBC.
 

Hi all,

Can someone provide an example for how to specify rotation (fixed RPM) of an arbitrarily shaped internal boundary about say the Y-axis?

Thanks for your help!

That'd be "f*(vector(0,1,0) ^ pos())" (^is the cross product in OpenFOAM/swak)

Calculating the scalar factor f is left to the reader as an exercise

haha, thanks Bernhard. That v = [omega] X [R] could be written with such simple abstraction in groovyBC is simply beautiful!

You're welcome. As it is quite a frequent "pattern" consider writing a Usage Example at http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Co...Usage_examples
