Summary

We woll calculate the flow in a channel with inlet and outlet, where an inlet part of the channel oscillates in the vertical direction of the main flow.

Model Model

The fluid flows in from the region "inlet" at (1, 0, 0) m/s and out from the region "outlet". The inlet channel oscillates in the Y-axis direction with an amplitude of 0.5 m and a frequency of 3.14 rad/s (0.5 rps). The Oscillating region, direction, amplitude and frequency are specified in the file constant/dynamicMeshDict as follows.

dynamicFvMesh   solidBodyMotionFvMesh;
motionSolverLibs ( "libfvMotionSolvers.so" );
solidBodyMotionFvMeshCoeffs
{
    cellZone        inletChannel;

    solidBodyMotionFunction  oscillatingLinearMotion;

    oscillatingLinearMotionCoeffs
    {
        amplitude       (0 0.5 0);
        omega           3.14;
    }
}

The meshes are as follows, and the number of mesh is 11696.
