Hi Frank,

How are you doing, my friend? Clearly you're making progress!

Would you mind making your simple moving/deforming, FSI cases availabble to others?

Hi Sung-Eun!

Nice to hear from you! Basically, I am preparing to share a small collection of different dynamic mesh classes, involving: 1 moving body, 2 moving bodies, with and without subsetMeshes and some applied (defined) flexibility. Unfortunately, I have done only little on FSI, since for my problem I know the wing motion / flexing, so there is no need to couple the forces to the structure. But I do have some test cases which I will share.

If you need anything on the short term, please drop me an email....

Regards, Frank

PS: maybe we can meet in Milan at the OF workshop ??

It should look something like this -

Create mesh for time = 0

Selecting motion solver: laplaceFaceDecomposition
Selecting motion diffusivity: quadratic
Number of cells in new mesh : 2772
Number of faces in new mesh : 11286

Selecting motion solver: laplaceFaceDecomposition

Running on one processor works great and I can move a subset just fine. However when decomposing the '0/setSubset' and '0/motionSubset' directories do not end up in any of the processor directories (should they?). Here's my case and modified subsetMotionSolverFvMesh code respectively -

The subsets should be decomposed as well. Somewhere on this message board their lives a decomposeParWithSets, or something like that. That utility should do the job, for me it worked fine....

Frank,

could you post your icoFsiFoam case with the cylinder and trailing flat plate. I try to understand why the fore part of my airfoil, which is clamped (fixedValue (0 0 0) for the displacement), gets deformed after the mesh motion in icoFsiFoam (only the rear part and the whole fluid region are coupled in the couplingProperties dictionary).

Cheers,

Patrick

Hello

I'm trying to model a wing, or a plate, in flow suspended on an axle. I would greatly appreciate any sample cases that are related ie. on solving the forces acting on the body and updating the mesh accordingly.

If you could email me at juho.peltola@tut.fi it would be great!

Frank - Thanks for pointing me to that decomposition utility, it seems to work ok but I could only get the patched decomposePar to compile. After decomposing my case (decomposePar . cylSimple) I try running 'moveDynamicMesh' in parallel but it fails with this message:

[1] --> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR : cannot open file
[1]
[1] file: ../cylSimple/processor1/system/motionSubset/fvSchemes at line 0.
[1]

FOAM parallel run exiting


If I'm not mistaken, the processor directories don't need their own system directory - Did you add any parameters or do anything different when decomposing or running?

When I manually copy these files over to each processor directory it eventually gives an error :

[1] --> FOAM FATAL ERROR : Cannot find file "faces" in directory "constant/motionSubset/polyMesh"

Did you end up with the case structure as openFOAM expects it?

I did just copy the files and directories which is being asked for.......Indeed you'll end up with some dublicate stuff, but for me, it worked.

Are you sure that there is a polyMesh inside the motionSubset. Maybe you should also create the subsets using subsetMeshes utility and put the resulting polyMesh where needed.....In my case I had constant/motionSubset1 and constant/motionSubset2, so I had to create both polyMesh dirs using subsetMeshes.....

Cheers, Frank

Ok, I've made some progress and can now at least run in parallel but now the mesh moves strangely - seems the processor interface right around the 'oldInternalFaces' is not moving correctly.

Here is the original mesh at t = 0



And after 0.02 seconds I get this



Everywhere else the motion seems fine, but those rogue points at the top of cylinder seem to be causing a problem. Anyone have ideas?

Hello

I'm trying to set up a case with icoDyMFoam. Mesh motion works neatly when a set the movingWall in cellMotionUy and pointMotionUy to fixedValue.

When I try to use oscillatingFixedValue or timeVaryingFixedValue it gives me an error message:

Hi Juho, I've always put the 'oscillatingFixedValue' mesh motion implementation in the file 'motionU', never had to touch the other files 'cellMotionUy' and 'pointMotionUy'. I'm using 1.4.1-dev off of the svn but I think you should be able to do this 1.4.1 .

When using tetDecomposition motion solvers, the user only has to specify the motionU file. For your moving wall, you either specify oscillatingFixedValue or just fixedValue if your motion is defined by a (custom) dynamicFvMesh library.

This tetDecomp motion solver is only available in the OF-1.4.1-dev version. When using Finite Volume based motion solvers, you only have to specify pointMotion (the interpolation to cellMotion is done accordingly in the code).

Enjoy the mesh motion, it will lead to a lot of fun!!!

Thanks for the replies!

I guess I should switch to 1.4.1-dev then. Shouldn't the oscillatingFixedValue and timeVaryingFixedValue work with Finite Volume motion solvers? At the moment I've used the movingCone tutorial as an example.

Another question:

I want to move only a part of a continous wall. How do I make the transition between the moving and fixed par smooth? Like bending the wall.

You should only provide a pointMotionU file with oscillatingFixedValue i.e. for your moving wall. (The cellMotionU is derived from that, you could delete that file).....Just try this. Additionally, you should set U for your moving wall to movingWallVelocity.

}
}

=================================================
0/U:

movingWall
{
type movingWallVelocity;
value uniform (0 0 0);
}

=================================================
constant/dynamicMeshDict:
=================================================

dynamicFvMesh dynamicMotionSolverFvMesh;

motionSolverLibs ("libfvMotionSolvers.so");

twoDMotion yes;

solver velocityLaplacian;

diffusivity directional (50 500 0);

=================================================

Same error message as before.

Is it possible something is wrong with my installation? The timeVariedFixedValue gives the same error message but works perfectly in turbFoam and oodles.

Also the mesh motion works fine when I set a fixedValue to the pointMotionU.

Thank you for your time!

The boundary conditions seem to work fine with the -dev version's tet decomposition.

And now towards the next problem...
