Hi All,

I would like to use the SLERP interpolation for the mesh deformation in my fluid-structure simulations. It is being used by default in the rigid body motion framework but I cannot find a way how to use it for the mesh deformation only. I would like to use it in a similar way as the other elliptic mesh deformation solvers (displacementLaplacian, displacementSBRStress, etc.) so define the displacements as Dirichlet boundary condition (pointDisplacement).

Help would be appreciated!

Best, Mikko

Hi there,

Forced motions with slerp has been added to OpenFOAM 7 with interpolatingSolidBodyMotionSolver.

https://openfoam.org/release/7/

https://github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM...98ee933b910741


I'm not sure there is a tutorial with complete details about it, but it's rather easy to implement from what I've tried !

Hi Benoit,

Thanks for your reply. I thought as well that this should be possible but unfortunately I still haven't managed to get the SLERP working for mesh deformation only.

hi, here's an example of a working dynamicMeshDict in order to use SLERP for prescribed rigid body deformation, working with OF7



Code:
FoamFile
{
 version 2.0;
 format ascii;
 class dictionary;
 location "system";
 object dynamicMeshDict;
}

ampli (0 0 -10.0);

omeg 12.0;

dynamicFvMesh dynamicMotionSolverFvMesh;

motionSolver interpolatingSolidBody;

patches
  (
    patch0
  );

CofG (0 0 0);

innerDistance 1;

outerDistance 10;

solidBodyMotionFunction oscillatingRotatingMotion;

oscillatingRotatingMotionCoeffs
{
  origin (0 0 0);
  axis (0 0 1);
  omega $omeg;
  amplitude $ampli;
}

Any update in this topic?
I am also interested on using slerp with mesh deformation, not for rigid body deformation. I want to use it for FSI of a wing

Best Regards
Marcelino
