Hi everyone!

I hope I chose the right section to post to.

I was wondering where I could find some information on the various dictionaries used by OpenFOAM. I feel that the documentation is somewhat lacking in this sense: when I need to use something that is not covered in the user guide, where can I find information about it? I know there are the tutorials too, but the various utilites are only used and never explained or commented upon.

More precisely, I am currently trying to solve a multiphase moving mesh case similar to the one shown in the interDyMFoam/DTCHull tutorial, but I am finding it difficult to proper set up the dictionary since I don't know where to find some kind of list with all the possible entries for the dynamicMeshDict and their meaning. Also the wiki page (http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Ma...m#Dynamic_Mesh) was not helpful, since it is too concise.

Can you please point me to some references where the less basic OpenFOAM utilities are explained?

Thanks in advance
