Advanced Dynamic Meshes Course

Dynamic meshes are models that allows the mesh to change during a simulation. The changes of the mesh can be due to a prescribed motion, rigid body motion, fluid structure interaction, or refinement/unrefinement of the mesh.
During this course, we address the standard practices to follow when setting dynamic meshes cases in OpenFOAM, and we illustrate the different dynamic meshes approaches implemented in OpenFOAM (morphing meshes, sliding meshes, overset meshes, mesh remeshing and adaptive mesh refinement).
Finally, as dynamic meshes are fully compatible with most of the advanced physical models implemented in OpenFOAM (turbulence, multiphase flows, heat transfer, lagrangian particles), we also illustrate how to setup different physical models and standard best practices.
Topics to be covered:

Dynamic meshes in OpenFOAM
Adaptive mesh refinement in OpenFOAM
Sliding meshes in OpenFOAM
Morphing meshes in OpenFOAM
Overset meshes in OpenFOAM
Choosing the right numerics
Advanced post-processing (quantitative and qualitative)
