Dear Nektar-Team,
last week during the ETC conference in Hannover, I listend to Mr. Spencer. I think he mentioned you are currently working on a methodology to simulate moving bodies. In my team, we are simulating dynamic stall on wind energy turbines, using openFOAM and a sliding mesh interface. The blade performs an oscillating pitching motion, defined by the user (not two-way FSI). Since we strive for hybrid RANS LES, or even wall resolved LES, I would prefer to switch from openFOAM to a solver that supports higher order numerical methods. Do you think Nektar would be feasible for this kind of simulations?
Best regards
