hi everyone, I want to define a time-change acceleration in sloshing movement. And maybe Fvoptions is a good way. Similar with tanksloshing3D6dof case in interDyMFoam. I want to define a acceleration term in non-inertial reference frame in interFoam. But I can not read the acceleration-term.dat using Fvoptions due to the formate of file.
So my question is :
1、Is there anywhere tell the formate of tabulatedaccelerationsource.
2、otherthan fvoptions, is there any good method to achieve non-inertial reference frame in interFoam. (I have try to added a "acc" just in the Uequ ,but the alpha.water does not change with "acc")

thanks very much for any advises or help.
Usage
Example usage:
\verbatim
SBM
{
type tabulatedAccelerationSource;
active yes;

tabulatedAccelerationSourceCoeffs
{
timeDataFileName "constant/acceleration-terms.dat";
}
}
\endverbatim

And I have attempted this thread in CFD-ONLINE(http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...blefile-h.html). I use the same format of the tablefile. But it still give me the same errors:
1、Expected a '(' while reading Tuple2, found on line 2 the label 0
2、wrong token type - expected Scalar, found on line 2 the punctuation token '('

I think that your approach could improve this situation.
http://www.openfoam.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=1313

A*U = H + F

I think it should be:
A*U = H - grad[p] + F
U=H/A - 1/A*grad[p] + F/A

Excuse me for using the same topic but there are other topics where others have reported this bug and no answer have been given.

http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...rce-model.html
http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...l-wiggles.html

I am trying to implement the body force in this other way and I am not able to do it correctly. Could you please help me?
Hi,

Have you solved the problem? I am adding a direct force immersed boundary method into pimpleFoam, if I add the extra force from solid in the momentum predictor step, it can run but the results are wrong. I think I should add the force in pressure iterative step, because the force is chaging in every step. Thanks.

Hi Shuo,
Have you solved the problem? I am doing the same thing for IBM, but the results are so dependent on the Number of Piso loops. I think something is wrong with the way I am imposing my force in pressure piso loop. So can you please share to me your experience?
Cheers,
Mohammad
