OpenFOAM Wave Motion Analysis

OpenFOAM Wave Motion Analysis

This figure shows an OpenFOAM workflow Kitware created for Sandia National Laboratories to evaluate the reactions of objects to wave motion. What's shown is a ship being inserted into the tank. The box around the aft portion of the vessel is a preview of the OpenFOAM overset mesh (snapped to the ship exterior) that has been crinkle-clipped to reveal the forward part of the ship. This allows inspection of meshes before running a simulation.

Frameworks used: SMTK, VTK, ParaView
