Hi,

I need to simulate an airfoil with rotating flap. Being a novice in moving meshes in OF, I'm not sure what's the best approach. My final objective is to extrude the airfoil to be a wing in 3D. However, now I am trying in 2D 1st.

I saw a way to mesh the airfoil over here:

Oscillating Airfoil and Independently Oscillating Flap

Seems like the flap can rotate using dynamic mesh / AMI. Is this a good way or is there a better mtd?

Also, how should I deform the mesh? What type of solver for dynamic mesh should I use? Should it be sixDoFRigidBodyMotion or displacementLaplacian?

I'm also confused with dynamic mesh and AMI. Is AMI a subset of dynamic mesh? How are they related?

Thanks!
