Difference between pimpleFoam and overPimpleDyMFoam

Hello Everyone,

I am using OpenFoam v1912. I want to ask what is the difference between incompressible solvers pimpleFoam and overPimpleDyMFoam? I am asking it because what I know is we can use MRF feature in pimpleFoam solver also using constant/dynamicMeshDict. If I am wrong, please correct me.

Thanks in Advance!

Hi!

The over* versions are using the overset method. So in over* you can use an overset mesh while in pimpleFoam you can't.
