Dear OpenFOAM users,

I'm trying to follow the same tutorial given in fsiFoam solver in foam-extend3.1. This tutorial named HronTurekFsi3 (attached). I tried to implement one the same as that original case. The difference between the original case and my one could summarise in the information given in http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0045782505005177. My one is square cylinder instead of circular cylinder given in the original one. All boundary conditions and geometries are given in page 5767 and 5768 in the attached paper.

My case named HronTurekFsi3-New that I implemented are shown in the attached folder.

Q: What changes I did to the original case?
I generated the mesh using blockMesh utility the same as in the original case. In my case, it's square cylinder but in the original one it's circular. Also, the boundaries are different, my one are shown in the attached paper.
I kept transportProperties in fluid folder and rhyologyProperties in the solid folder the same as in the original case and also U in 0 folder it's given 51.3 m/s in the paper but 0 m/s in the original one. When I used paper value 51.3 m/s it's given me error, so I kept it 0 m/s. I don't know why

Q: What steps I do for generating the mesh, running the simulation and post-processing.
* for mesh generation: blockMesh utility
* for running the simulation
cd FluidStructureInteraction/run/fsiFoam/HronTurekFsi3-New
chmod 755 *
sed -i s/tcsh/sh/g *Links
./removeSerialLinks fluid solid
./makeSerialLinks fluid solid
cd fluid
./Allclean
./Allrun
* for postProcessing: paraview

The case was running fine, but the simulation doesn't show beam movement, I think that because of fluid/solid interface mesh problem., am I right? Could you please help me regarding this case and solve its problem.

Lots of thanks in advanced and kind regards
