Hi there

I hope you are doing well. I'm going to simulate a flapping foil near water surface by openFoam. I mean plunge and pitch motion by flapping. In my case the foil rotates about 90 degree so I have to use RBF method for dynamic mesh, I suppose.

How can I produce a dynamic mesh in RBF method?

Appreciate

the dynamic mesh will be treated in your solver, meaning OF (what RBF stands for?) and I don't know how it works in OF.
In Fluent, years ago, you were able to treat it with 3 methods: layering / remeshing / smoothing.
The mesh in Gambit would have been influenced by the dynamic mesh method, especially for layering.
Now in OF, I have no idea

RBF is Radial Basis Function. I know it from Frank Bos thesis.you can see Released RBF motion solver
for more detail.
Thanks for information
