User defined dynamic mesh
 

Hi all,

Recently I am doing the dynamic mesh cases. I am trying to follow the case movingCone to setup the moving part.

/opt/openfoam6/tutorials/compressible/sonicDyMFoam/movingCone
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ file: dynamicMeshDict
dynamicFvMesh dynamicMotionSolverFvMesh;
motionSolverLibs ("libfvMotionSolvers.so");
motionSolver velocityComponentLaplacian;
component x;
diffusivity directional (1 200 0);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ file: pointMotionUx
FoamFile
{
version 2.0;
format ascii;
class pointScalarField;
object pointMotionU;
}
boundaryField
{
movingWall
{
type uniformFixedValue;
uniformValue constant 160;
}

...
}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~

In the file pointMotionUx, it shows the type for the movingWall is 'uniformFixedValue'. Can anyone show me how to select the type if I want to define the moving path using a function or reading the velocity profile from a file?

Thanks,
Chao

The following shows the type for the moving wall.

Valid patchField types are :
