multiSolidBodyMotionFvMesh
 

Hi Foamers,

could you post the structure of the dynamicMeshDict for setting up a case with multiple differently rotating zones using multiSolidBodyMotionFvMesh. There isn't any information or tutorial about it.

Hello,
I have an application that has two separate rotating zones and have found that solidBodyMotionFvMesh can only handle one rotating zone at a time. I would like to use multiSolidBodyMotionFvMesh as that seems to be able to read in multiple zones .... however, I'm not sure how to then specify the coefficients correctly. I tried many variations and this one seems to be most obvious ...

dynamicFvMesh multiSolidBodyMotionFvMesh;

motionSolverLibs ( "libfvMotionSolvers.so" );

multiSolidBodyMotionFvMeshCoeffs
{
cellZone FRotor;
multiSolidBodyMotionFunction rotatingMotion;
rotatingMotionCoeffs
{
CofG (0.3 0 0);
radialVelocity (-360 0 0); // deg/s
}

cellZone RRotor;
multiSolidBodyMotionFunction rotatingMotion;
rotatingMotionCoeffs
{
CofG (0.3 0 0);
radialVelocity (360 0 0); // deg/s
}
}

however, pimpleDyMFoam complains.

Create mesh for time = 0.65

Could anybody point me in the right direction?

Many Thanks

Hi,
Its ok i found a sample, here is how it is done :)

dynamicFvMesh multiSolidBodyMotionFvMesh;

motionSolverLibs ( "libfvMotionSolvers.so" );

multiSolidBodyMotionFvMeshCoeffs

{
FRotor {
solidBodyMotionFunction rotatingMotion;
rotatingMotionCoeffs
{
CofG (0.3 0 0);
radialVelocity (-360 0 0); // deg/s
}
}

RRotor {
solidBodyMotionFunction rotatingMotion;
rotatingMotionCoeffs
{
CofG (0.3 0 0);
radialVelocity (360 0 0); // deg/s
}
}
}
