Dear Samadhi
I am also working in the field of flapping foil system. I followed your set up, But unfortunately, I found an unexpected displacement of foil in the X the direction where it is not allowed. The foil is allowed to oscillate coupled motion of heave( with respect to Z direction) and pitch (with respect to y direction). Since the foil is moving in the X direction the overset region is moving out of Overlap region and cause an error.Could you help me to figure out the error. Here I am attching the images |

Which software are you modelling this in?

How have you specified the motion for the heave and pitch?

Yes the foil is allowed for coupled motion of both heave and pitch.
But I have tested with heave alone and experienced the same issue. |

This is the CFX forum. For discussion of issues regarding the StarCCM solver please use that forum. I have moved the relevant posts to the StarCCM forum for you, and in future please ensure you post on the correct forum.
