Example #16. Dynamic Overset Grid Demonstration Using A Simple Rotor/Fuselage Model

Contributed by Dave O’Brien and Marilyn Smith, Georgia Tech

Simple proof of concept for dynamic overset grid capability within FUN3D. The movie shows pressure coefficient variation over a half revolution in 6 degree intervals. The rotor blade grid moves within a stationary fuselage grid. Overset capabilities are achieved using the DiRTlib and SUGGAR programs.
