Overset Mesh in IC engine?

jmex · December 8, 2024, 12:31

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to simulate IC engine without combustion, I was thinking whether we could use overset mesh to simulate movement of valves and piston?
I read somewhere that in overset mesh the walls cannot cross, so how should I model stem of valve here.

Here is a look of the model I have prepared for simulation. Any thoughts/suggestions are most welcome.

can someone suggest a way to perform such simulation (if not overset). And if so, just want to know if this is possible at all for the walls to intersect.
I need to know so that I can focus and work in that direction. Any suggestion are most welcome.
