Hello,

I have been trying to use "dynamicMotionSolverListFvMesh" to combine the solidBodyMotion and rigidBodyMotion dynamic mesh solvers as shown as follows:

dynamicFvMesh dynamicMotionSolverListFvMesh;
solvers
{
// Whole domain motion
solidMotion
{
solver solidBody;
solidBodyMotionFunction linearMotion;
linearMotionCoeffs
{
velocity (-2.0 0.0 0.0);
}
}

// Floating body
DoF
{
solver rigidBodyMotion;
rigidBodyMotionCoeffs
{
report on;
solver
{
type Newmark;
}

accelerationRelaxation 0.8;

// prescribedRotation requires some sub-iterations to converge faster
// to desired value of omega.
nIter 3;

bodies
{
... ... ...
} // bodies
} // rigidBodyMotionCoeffs
} // DoF
}

The program runs well if only one (and anyone) single motion solver is enabled. But it crashs soon if both motion solvers are enabled.

The case I am targeting is that a ship hull moving forward in a head wave scenario, as shown in the attached picture. This case can be handled easily in StarCCM++. Can anyone enlighten me how to make it work in OpenFOAM please? If the above approach is not possible, any suggestion in how to simulate my problem in OpenFOAM is much appreciated! Thanks.

Update.

It can be done with the latest release of ESI OpenFOAM-v2106. See tutorial:
