Floating Sphere

The simulation is motivated by Volume-of-Fluid method and dynamic mesh with 2-degrees of freedom. The case here can be further develope for marine applications

Simulation uses solver interDyMFoam in OpenFoam. This solver employs both Volume of Fluid method and moving Dynamic Mesh technique.
