CFD Online Discussion Forums - Why is icoFsiFoam considered deprecated?

I think that it is considered depreciated because of icoFsiElastciNonLinSolidFoam. From looking at the code it seems that icoFsiFoam doesn't do any loop between solid and liquid within a time step, which might be why they said 'Set up as a fake fluid structure interaction solver' it does:

Code:

#       include "setPressure.H"

#       include "solveSolid.H"



#       include "setMotion.H"

#       include "solveFluid.H"

While in the same spot icoFsiElastciNonLinSolidFoam does:

Code:

do

        {

            outerCorr++;



#           include "setInterfaceDisplacement.H"



#           include "moveFluidMesh.H"



#           include "solveFluid.H"



#           include "setInterfaceForce.H"



#           include "solveSolid.H"



#           include "calcFsiResidual.H"

        }

        while

        (

            (fsiResidualNorm > outerCorrTolerance)

         && (outerCorr < nOuterCorr)

        );

Also icoFsiElastciNonLinSolidFoam can supposedly run in parallel, but getting that to work in parallel for me with proper Hron Tureck values makes it crash. I get the same error as the people in this thread: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post504083 and it appears that there is no working solution, even though there is an AllrunPar script there.

I think that if you want a steady-state solution and only use one core you may aswell use icoFsiFoam.

Svensen from the other post I think that you can view it in paraview if for do paraFoam -case fluid.
