Hi! My lab is preparing to make a coupling between Project Chrono and a CFD program (REEF3D). Our plan is to construct a mesh with the CFD program (.stl format), and communicate between the programs similar to the DualSPHysics coupling (we'll naturaly have to do this a bit different as REEF3D is not particle-based). REEF3D is a rigid mesh-based CFD program (mesh doesn't move), where information like pressure is saved in the mesh center and velocities at the mesh edges. We have a rough outline of what we need, but I just wanted to comfirm a couple of aspects.
When importing the mesh into Project Chrono, together with the live transfer of forces and moments calculated in REEF3D from a wave/waves, will the forces have to be applied on all mesh cells individually in Project Chrono or on a broader area? And will Project Chrono have to calculate these forces on the nodes itself, and store information (like velocities and positions) on each individual node in Project Chrono before sending updated positions back to REEF3D? Thanks for any answers! Halvor -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ProjectChrono" group.
