Rotating and Oscillating simultaneously

sachinthakre · May 2, 2016, 04:38

Dear Foam Users!

I want to simulate a circular structure like a propeller, which will be rotating (full rotation) and oscillating (by a minute displacement) at the same time, inside the tank.
Can you suggest which mesh motion solver can serve my purpose?

Thank you very much in advance!

Sincerely,
Sachin

Hi Sachin,

You can rotate the propeller using the rotatingMotion. For the translation, change the frame of reference by modifying the navier-stokes equation.
