In: 14th World Congress in Computational Mechanics (WCCM) ECCOMAS 2020, 11-15 January 2021, Virtual Eventhttps://doi.org/10.23967/wccm-eccomas.2020.231https://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/handle/1826/20138The simulation of an oleo-pneumatic shock absorber is discussed focusing on the solver validation and high fidelity case setup. The multi-physics nature of the problem is tackled by conducting a range of validation cases in the base areas expected to be of relevance. A dynamic system model of the shock absorber is used to generate physically consistent boundary conditions. In addition, steady RANS simulations provide a preliminary insight into the internal flow development and to assist in the design of higher resolution grids.enAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/shock absorbermulti-physicsCFDOpenFOAMConference paper
