Hello,
I was wondering if someone could help me out. I am trying to set up a transient 3D case using pimpleDyMFoam and GGIs, consisting of a rotating pump impeller connected to a static inlet duct and a static outlet spiral. I haven't seen a tutorial so far which explains how to hande two pairs of moving-static-interfaces, and don't know how to set them up in the dynamicMeshDict.
Also: is it correct, that the moving CellZone needs to be called movingCells? Or will the solver deduct this from the connected moving faces?
I am using OF-1.6-ext. Thanks in advance for any advice.

In dynamicMeshDict:

slider
{
moving ( FACE1a FACE2a );
static ( FACE1b FACE2b );
}

The names can of course be chosen freely.

Using multiple rotating parts you need to use something like this

Did not see you only had one rotating part,

Then yes using the mixerGgiFvMesh method the rotating cellZone has to be named movingCells.

Best

Thanks for answering.

I think in OpenFOAM 2.1 the name of the mesh-part that is supposed to move can be chosen freely.

Could you better help me to understand the turboFvMesh?
My case contains a co-axial rotor system, 2 rotors with 2 ggi's, inside a cylinder that represent the atmosphere.
1. Does it require a ggi? Or can it rotate meshes without the ggi? I see no slider info was input.
2. Is it a moving mesh? Viewing the meshes rotation is key for my case.

Could you maybe send a drawing of your setup?
