Hi,

I am new learner in OpenFOAM.

I've intend to replicate the results based on a reference paper - "OpenFOAM predicitions of hydrodynamics loads on full-scale TLP" for two 2D cylinders in tandem. However, I was unable to achieve the same results or closer to the same results after tried many attempts. Do need helps here!

I have attached my openfoam file and geo format on the model. Due to the limitation of file size that i can upload here. You might need to convert gmshtofoam and amend the boundary in constant file first to run and check.

Question:
1) Am i using the right solver as per reference paper
2) Is my input of parameter correct?
3) Is my Model correctly done? in term of Z or others such as mesh & element?

Greatly appreciated any helps or advise.

Many Thanks.

Regards,
Kelvin
