Re: [Gfs-users] Simulation of passive solid motion

[Sebastien D. <s.d...@ni...>]

Hi Hu,

sorry for the late answer.
Stephane had a go at coupling ODE (http://www.ode.org/) and Gerris a
while ago. The first trials clearly showed that the solid/fluid
interaction model still needed to be improved before being able to
simulate complex solid motion under solid forces. 
You would need to use the ODE module and the "GfsSolidMovingODE" keyword
if you wanted to test the code.
There is no plan at the moment to improve that branch of the code at the
moment.

Cheers

Sebastien
