Hello,

Is there a possibility to "mimic" a moving mesh in interFoam?
I am conducting simulations on sloshing, and for the post processing I would prefer a static mesh.
At first I thought of applying a body force, but this approach is apparently wrong, since I have a free surface. Now, I thought of implementing something like a surface force / or a body force which only applies to the cells layer directly at the wall. Thus, I thought it could be possible apply a force, which in the end produces the same result on the fluid like a moving mesh.

Does anyone have experience with that, or tried out this approach?

Thanks!

I was under the impression that the body force model is the most common approach for multiphase sloshing simulations. Why do you think it wouldn't work?

Hi,
have you figured it out on how to apply the body forces in interFoam
