Hi everybody,

Probably this topic has been dicussed before, but I'm wondering if somebody else is using OpenFOAM to tackle this king of problem, that is : flapping wings/fishlike propulsion.

I just installed OpenFOAM, and now I will start to learn everything, but if somebody can share his experience on this topic with me/everybody I/we will really appreciate it.

For the moment we want to compare the results obtained with an in-house software developed in the uni (this software uses the immersed boundary method), with another high front software, and probably try to implement the same meshing approach used on the IBM in openfoam (if it's not yet implemented).

Thanks in advance for your help,

joegi
