Hi,

I need to combine solidbody motion+ deforming mesh in the new OpenFOAM v11. OpenFOAM ESI can already do it but I need to use AMI and it has some problems.

Hence, I would like to try the new OF v11 which has a new dynamicMesh and NCC capability.

Either one works well but when I combine them, the mesh gets distorted.

FYI, I'm simulating a 2D airfoil which plunges up/down (solid motion) and the flap rotates up/down (deformation). The dynamicMeshDict is:

FoamFile
{
    version     2.0;
    format      ascii;
    class       dictionary;
    object      dynamicMeshDict;
}
// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

mover
{
    type            motionSolver;

    libs            ("libfvMeshMovers.so" "libfvMotionSolvers.so" "librigidBodyMeshMotion.so");
	
	motionSolver    motionSolverList;
	
	solvers
    {
        linear
        {
            motionSolver    solidBody;

            //select          all;
			cellZone	AirfoilZone;

            solidBodyMotionFunction  oscillatingLinearMotion;

            amplitude     (0 0.5 0);
            omega         6.24;

            //rpm           60;
        }
		
		flap_rotate
        {
            motionSolver    displacementLaplacian;

            //select          all;
			cellZone	AirfoilZone;			

            diffusivity  quadratic inverseDistance 1(flap_wall);
			
        }

        
    };
	
}

and the pointDisplacement file is:

FoamFile
{
    version     2.0;
    format      binary;
    class       pointVectorField;
    arch        "LSB;label=32;scalar=64";
    location    "0";
    object      pointDisplacement;
}
// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

dimensions      [0 1 0 0 0 0 0];


internalField   uniform (0 0 0);

boundaryField
{
    airfoil_wall
    {
        type            fixedValue;
        value           uniform (0 0 0);
    }
    flap_wall
    {
        type            angularOscillatingDisplacement;
        value           uniform ( 0 0 0 );
        axis            ( 0 0 1 );
        origin          ( 1.02 0 0.02 );
        angle0          0;
        amplitude       0.358;
        omega           6.28;
    }
    inlet
    {
        type            fixedValue;
        value           uniform (0 0 0);
    }
    outlet
    {
        type            fixedValue;
        value           uniform (0 0 0);
    }
    BaseAndTop
    {
        type            empty;
    }
}

I wonder if it is possible at all although it's mentioned that it's possible to combine them together.
