ole New Member Join Date: Jan 2010 Posts: 4 Rep Power: 16	Hi everyone, I just started to use OpenFOAM and am currently studying the "Flow around a cylinder" tutorial. Suppose I want to see the effect of having the cylinder rotate. This would easily be configured by setting the boundary to moving wall and specifying the angular velocity. Is this possible? I have read about mesh motion mechanisms, but they seem like overkill in this case, since the mesh is not moving, only the cylinder wall is. Any help appreciated. Thanks, Ole
