Hi

my question is about 'mover' in openfoam 11

FoamFile
{
format ascii;
class dictionary;
object dynamicMeshDict;
}
// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
mover
{
type motionSolver;

/*
inkJet
interpolator
layeredEngine
motionSolver
none
*/

libs ("libfvMeshMovers.so" "libfvMotionSolvers.so");

...

There are different options, but I could only find examples with 'motionSolver'. Does anyone has experience with 'interpolator' ? Any example or tutorial available somewhere? I couldn't find anything. I looked at the source code, but it's above my skillset.

Thanks in advance.

I'd be glad to help you with the 'mover' in OpenFOAM 11, specifically the 'interpolator' option.
While there seems to be a lack of readily available examples or tutorials on the 'interpolator' option in OpenFOAM 11's 'mover' dictionary, here's some insight that might be helpful:
* Purpose: Based on the available comments within the code snippet you provided, 'interpolator' likely refers to a motion solver that utilizes interpolation techniques to update mesh points during dynamic mesh simulations. This could involve techniques like linear interpolation, polynomial interpolation, or more advanced approaches.
* Limited Information: The absence of extensive documentation or examples suggests that 'interpolator' might be a less commonly used or experimental feature in OpenFOAM 11. It's possible that 'motionSolver' is the more prevalent and well-supported option.
* Alternative Approaches:
