Hi all, I’m currently trying to couple multiphase solver in OpenFOAM (for the fluid domain) and an in-house code (for the solid domain) to do wave-structure interaction. The main requirement in my simulation is the exchange of the plastic deformation (displacement) and wave impact (pressure) on the…

Hi @Stan [image] Stan: Now I confirm that the ‘static’ here refers to the unchanged relative positions of the nodes at the interface. On the contrary, the ‘dynamic’ means the number of nodes and their relative positions change in the simulation (e.g. the adaptive mesh). I used to think that the…

Hi @Stan , [image] Stan: As stated in one thread, by employing ALE method, “the interface is fixed in the beginning of the simulation (location and number of nodes), but each node gets a displacement that is then used in the calculations”. Does that mean the values of displacement and pressure…

Hi David, Thanks for your detailed explanation! Now I confirm that the ‘static’ here refers to the unchanged relative positions of the nodes at the interface. On the contrary, the ‘dynamic’ means the number of nodes and their relative positions change in the simulation (e.g. the adaptive mesh). I …
