+In this project a FSI coupling was established to investigate the influence of rotor blade deformation of cycloidal rotors and its effect on the rotor efficiency.
+The preCICE OpenFOAM adapter uses the pointDisplacement function of OpenFOAM to couple motion data. However, simulating rotating bodies of a cyclorotor is not yet possible with this approach in OpenFOAM. Therefore an additional OpenFOAM class was added to couple the rotation motion directly from the MBDyn adapter to OpenFOAM.

+The results have also been presented at the HPC-Asia 2022 MMCP workshop ([abstract](http://louisgagnon.com/articlesScientifiques/Schliessus2022_MMCP22.pdf)).
+A dataset of the simulation results including the base case setup can be found here:
