A solver has been developed within the OpenFoam framework to compute large amplitude motion of two-dimensional rigid configurations. The results obtained with this code were successfully validated on rigid airfoils at static and dynamic conditions, as well as correlated with experimental data and numerical solutions from similar unsteady solvers. The results demonstrated that while current computational methods are able to predict the self-sustained oscillations characterizing a pitch-dominated stall flutter, including energy transfer, improvements are needed. The influence of grid, temporal integration, turbulence modeling, and flow equations is examined for the stall flutter starting solution of dynamic stall.
