Detailed Description

Displacement fixed by projection onto triSurface. Use in a displacement fvMotionSolver as a bc on the pointDisplacement field.

Calculates the projection onto the surface according to the projectMode

  • NEAREST : nearest
  • POINTNORMAL : intersection with point normal
  • FIXEDNORMAL : intersection with fixed vector

This displacement is then clipped with the specified velocity * deltaT.

Optionally (intersection only) removes a component ("wedgePlane") to stay in 2D.

Needs:

  • geometry : dictionary with searchableSurfaces. (usually triSurfaceMeshes in constant/triSurface)
  • projectMode : see above
  • projectDirection : if projectMode = fixedNormal
  • wedgePlane : -1 or component to knock out of intersection normal
  • frozenPointsZone : empty or name of pointZone containing points that do not move
