OpenFOAM for Marine Application

thanosniotis · February 20, 2021, 13:33

Hello there,

My name is Athanasios Niotis and I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Naval Architecture at the University of Strathclyde.

In my project, I simulate the flooding of a ship after damage. I use the OpenFOAM ESI version coupled with the waves2FOAM for wave generation.

What I want is to implement a new SixDoFRigidBodyMotion restrain where I will implement a harmonic excitation (moment) in the rigid body under investigation. The tricky part in this is how you access the runTime in order to calculate moment=A * cos(wmega*time).

I am looking for an experienced programmer in OpenFOAM where we can have lessons to show me how to make the modification into the code. So I am not interested only in the new development but in establishing collaboration and getting a deeper understanding of OpenFOAM programming.

Thank you,
Athanasios Niotis

Hello I have done my PhD in OpenFOAM for motion of mesh for synthetic jet membrane and I have done the same using groovy boundary conditions. I can help you out with the same. My email is aditya1986019(at)gmail.com
