Hi, I am finding the added mass and damping coefficient of different floating structures using the forced heave method. For that I simulated a cylinder in free surface by STARCCM+ , whose geometry is given below. I should get a force between -5 and 5N when STARCCM+ gives me a force of 30N. I deduced buoyancy force and hydrostatic force from it still not in the desirable limit. following are the details and solvers i used for the simulation 1) implicit unsteady, VOF for free surface , K - epsilon turbulence with no DFBI and dynamic mesh . I also tried dynamic mesh (overset) and DFBI . 2) I have given velocity in the form of A SIN (wt) form under the motion tool as translation motion. 3) My CFL number is kept below 3 4) Flat wave with zero velocity for air and water. Initial conditions for velocity and pressure are given as zero. 5) slip wall for domain walls , and no slip wall for the translating body. Attaching my simulation before the run due to constraints on data sharing.
Can somebody help to find my problem?
Thanks in advance
