Unified Multiphysics with Moving Meshes
In this webinar, we present a next-generation open-source multiphysics framework designed for flexible, scalable, and robust simulation of multi-region continuum problems within the OpenFOAM ecosystem.
You will gain deep insights into the formulation of generalized interface conditions, the software's layered C++ design, and its application. This webinar will focus on coupling for moving meshes in Fluid-Structure-Interaction (FSI) and Arbitrary-Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) interface tracking problems.
Overview:
- Introduction to computational multiphysics and its motivation
- Mathematical foundation: generalized equations and interface conditions
- Design philosophy: modularity, extensibility, and high-performance parallelism
- Implementation features: run-time selection, object registry, coupled boundary conditions
- Application: Fluid-Structure-Interaction (FSI), Arbitrary-Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) interface tracking
