I am attempting to use compressibleInterDyMFoam to simulate a body moving through a jet of fluid. The body will move a large distance (many body lengths) through the volume. Overset grids seem to be the best way to simulate the motion, but I can't find tools ready to run with Openfoam 3 (or Openfoam 4). Has FoamedOver been maintained? Or does anyone have an immersed boundary method working?

Any Advice would be appreciated.

Regards,
Lenny

Hi,

There is another overset library available for the OpenFOAM foundation version called Bellerophon (https://github.com/bellero/bellerophon).

Hi,
I found that the source code of overset mesh has been released, and I applied for the source code. However, I have not received a reply. Do you have the source code? If you have it, could you please share a copy with me? My email is yin_luo@outlook.com. Thank you so much!
Best Regards,
Kevin

Samuel, please have a look at the ESI OpenCFD-OpenFOAM v1706+ release of the overset functionality.
