rkandukuri is on a distinguished road
Hi. im using OFv2306. trying to simulate a VAWT with a heaving motion superimposed. Due to problem geometry constraints, my airfoil wall is extremely close to my AMI interface. Due to this constraint, I think the cells near the AMI interface get heavily skewed a few time steps in. I'm working on refining the mesh right now. Other pointers to fix this issue, or alternative methods to acheive this would be great ( tried overset meshes, not been very succesful with it, case is very transient and pressure oscillations are too uncontrollable ) . I'm attaching my pointDisp and dynamicMeshDictFiles

dynamicMeshDict
Code:
FoamFile
{
    version     2.0;
    format      ascii;
    class       dictionary;
    location    "system";
    object      dynamicMeshDict;
}
// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

dynamicFvMesh dynamicMultiMotionSolverFvMesh;   //dynamicMotionSolverFvMesh;

// Specification of rotation around centre

dynamicMultiMotionSolverFvMeshCoeffs
{    
    dualWing1
    {
        cellZone innerVar-cells;

        
        solver solidBodyDisplacementLaplacian;


        solidBodyDisplacementLaplacianCoeffs
        {
            solidBodyMotionFunction  multiMotion;
            multiMotionCoeffs
            {
                
                rotation_2
                {
                    // Apply counter rotation to keep dualWing aligned
                    solidBodyMotionFunction rotatingMotion;
                   rotatingMotionCoeffs
                   {
                       origin      (0 2.527 0);;
                       axis            ( 0 0 1);
                       omega            1.7453;    //5.52 rad/s
                   }
                                                            
                }
            }

        }
    }
