Hello friends!

I am going to solve a cfd problem similar to a two-stroke engine. Before i am going to start i would like to ask the more experienced users: is this possible to do with openfoam or should i go for another cfd tool?

Similar case:

A similar case is the two-stroke engine from this thesis:

http://www.tfd.chalmers.se/~hani/pdf...sterThesis.pdf

The difference:

The pistonhead should not use a given velocity as a boundary condition. Instead the pistonhead should be modeled as a solid body (with mass/inertia).

Is it possible to use objects from the twoStrokeEngine-library for the mesh deformation, piston layering and the sliding interfaces in combination with the piston being a floating object?

Thank you for your help!
Best regards!
