SixDoFRigidBodyMotion Solver applied to multiple rotors

Vin_ · April 10, 2017, 14:41

Dear Foamers,

Ive recently setup and successfully run a case of a sliding mesh rotor within a simple channel flow using the SixDoFRigidBodyMotion solver defined in the /constants/dynamicMeshDict .

I am currently trying to extend this to a multiple rotor case wherein I would have at least 2 rotors run as independent FSI solutions. Is such a functionality pre-existent within the current SixDoFRigidBodyMotion solver? Does there exist an extension I am not aware of?

Thanks and Best Regards,
Vin

Hi,

I am trying to do simulation with two parallel propellers. Did you manage to solve your case?

Thank you!
