May I have your advice about FSI?

Post by Zhigong Song »

Hi, everyone.Now I am considering about the data exchanging between the meshes of solid and fluid.It is a kind of interpolation algorithm.I have to change some code to achieve some goals. Do you think it will work? And I am wondering which file is the one related?
Thank you very much!

Hi

Data exchange is automatically supported in Elmer. If the domains share the nodes there is no problems, while nonconforming meshes may be more problematic. There are some tests in $ELMER_HOME/tests/fsi* which could serve as starting point. Check the documentation on the details of individual solvers.
