[Other] FoamedOver, overset grids or immersed boundary

im_lenny · February 3, 2017, 13:15

I am attempting to use compressibleInterDyMFoam to simulate a body moving through a jet of fluid. The body will move a large distance (many body lengths) through the volume. Overset grids seem to be the best way to simulate the motion, but I can't find tools ready to run with Openfoam 3 (or Openfoam 4). Has FoamedOver been maintained? Or does anyone have an immersed boundary method working?

Any Advice would be appreciated.

Regards,
Lenny

Hi,
there is a commercial overset from http://celeritassimtech.com/

hrv jasak company wikki developed another overset

http://foam-extend.fsb.hr/release-of...n-foam-extend/ Release of Overset Mesh in foam-extend
-> foam-extend might come with overset I guess

IBM is already in foam-extend it started in public at openfoam workshop in darmstadt.

Hi,

There is another overset library available for the OpenFOAM foundation version called Bellerophon (https://github.com/bellero/bellerophon).

Best, Mikko

Hi,
I found that the source code of overset mesh has been released, and I applied for the source code. However, I have not received a reply. Do you have the source code? If you have it, could you please share a copy with me? My email is yin_luo@outlook.com. Thank you so much!
Best Regards,
Kevin

Hello,

And what exactly is foam-extend, do i need to pay to get access?

Kind regards

Samuel, please have a look at the ESI OpenCFD-OpenFOAM v1706+ release of the overset functionality.
