missingCorner

This is a simple tutorial to showcase various mesh utilities:

• cellDecomposition functionObject to create a tet mesh
• polyDualMesh to convert the tets to polyhedra
• surfaceMeshExtract to create additional pointPatches
• moveDynamicMesh to slightly morph the mesh. The mesh morphing is done using a Laplacian point smoothing ignoring the feature constraints so does a bad job of improving the mesh quality.

damBreakLeakage

This is a variant of the damBreak tutorial to showcase using cyclicACMI to control flow. In this tutorial

• additional (cyclicACMI) baffles block the flow of the liquid
• at time 0.5s a set of faces at the bottom half of the blockage open
• this is done through a cyclicACMI which uses the scale factor to convert from fully uncoupled, i.e. wall, to fully coupled.
• the scale is set through a coded Function1 entry in the patch definition in constant/polyMesh/boundary
• Initial condition: closed blockage (red)
