objects oscillate at high speed causing collapse in Dynamic mesh and overset mesh ca

insane · May 17, 2020, 22:35

Hi, everyone
Recently I am doing a two degree of freedom objects floating in waves. Firstly, I used the dynamic grid, but only to find the calculating divergence in 0.2 s, the speed and the force of the objects on the Z direction is increased sharply.
I have encountered this kind of problem before, because of deforming of the mesh is too large, but the current motion of the object can be ignored and the mesh deformation could be neglected.
I changed the case to overset case, but there are similar errors, the speed increase sharply, and the oscillation amplitude of the force is particularly large. The gravity and buoyancy are about 140 initially , even completely submerged is no more than 200, but from the log file it can be seen there are some changes of force lager than thousands on a time step.
Here are some timestep results of the log file both in dynamic and overset cases.
Any advice would be appreciated.

For the dynamic mesh, the force on the z-direction is 252 and 1572 in two timesteps.
