Dear foam experts,
I am trying to run a similar case as the mixerVesselAMI2D tutorial. Differences are that I want to make it a 3D case by adding more cells in the z dimension and the front and back surfaces have to be physical walls (no slip). Furthermore, I want to use pointwise to generate the grid as this is our main meshing software. If I create the mesh using blockMesh, increase the number of cells in the third dimension and change the empty surfaces to walls everything is fine. The case basically runs in the same way as in the tutorial. However, if I change the geometry slightly by importing the pointwise grid I run into problems. The geometry is visible in the pictures. It is basically a circle with a spared out square in its middle. This square is supposed to rotate. To make this possible I created (as in the tutorial) two AMI patches which distribute the domain in a rotating part and a static part. The center square rotates as intended and on the inside of the domain the rotation is performed as planned. In the close up you can see that in this layer the cells are actually sliding along the AMI surface. However, on the outside of the domain in the front and the back surfaces problems arise. In this layer the cells are not sliding on the AMI, hence solving the rotation by deforming the cells. This leads to a crash of the simulation at some point. In my opinion my mesh is set up in a similar way as the tutorial case and I don't understand why I get a different behavior. If somebody can help with this issue I would be very glad. I attached all the files which I considered relevant. However, if you need any further information please let me know. Code:
