Hi, I'm a newbie in OpenFOAM and CFD in general. I'm wondering if it is possible to use simpleFoam or any other steady-state solver for a dynamicFvMesh case (rotating system). I also want to use kOmegaSST model for turbulence.

I'd be very grateful for any reply.

You cannot combine steady state with mesh motion since that is inherently unsteady. You would need a time-dependent solver like pimpleFoam or pisoFoam specifically for incompressible cases.

Hi,

If you really need the motion, you need a time-dependent solver as Erick said.

There is some tutorials which handle rotating motion with a steady-state solver.
