Accelerating/deccelerating containers

I have following issue and I don't quite know how to simulate it in an appropriate way.


I have a container that is moving in space and being exposed to external forces. The movement is really fast and distances covered large. Of course I could simply use the functionality to impose this movement via file or the corresponding xml tags. The thing is: I then would run into difficulties to visualize what happens with paraview because the container would cover distances of several kilometers during simulation time.


I know that I could impose an acceleration to the fluid particles while keeping the container fixed but that is not quite the same. Or is it?


Any idea how to implement this?

  • Why would it not be the same, what happens if you try to do it the other way you suggest?

    Paraview should be able to visualize what you want, if you export the motion file as the cylinder being "fixed" (see PartVTK_out help) or if you just update the camera position with movement of cylinder inside of Paraview.

    Kind regards
