[OpenFOAM] Present the animation of water free surface around cylinder in Paraview

Lewis Liang · May 9, 2017, 01:00

Dear Foamer,

I'm currently working on simulating the dynamic interaction between cylinder and progressive wave. After the simulating, I need to present those result in Paraview. To be specific, I extracted the water free surface of each time step into VTK file. Then importing single result at each time step as shown in the first attachment.

However, I plan to make a animation for showing the variation of free water surface during the whole simulation time. For example, which can also refer to the second attachment.

There are also a link from YouTube:

Since I have tried many ways to make a animation like their work done in Paraview. However, I still cannot achieve any further outcome.

Could anyone give me some information and help for addressing this issue?

Thanks in advance!

Hello Lewis,

I am also facing almost same problem.
I am using a hull and I have completed almost every part.
Now I also want to make an animation but I couldn't find a way to upload all the vtk files in once or visualise at once.
If you found any solution please let me know it will be a great help.
