Description
More and more often (e.g., in this post), people are asking if they can use overset / chimera grids in OpenFOAM with preCICE. I have not tried that myself, but @JulianSchl made it work in his thesis (related conference abstract). I also see that this repository contains a related case: https://github.com/JulianSchl/overset_withPreCICE
It would be very helpful to have a tutorial or clear documentation on how to set up coupling with an overset mesh, so that we can point to that.
People typically need this to deal with large (prescribed) mesh deformations or rotations. We could maybe have a moving or rotating body as an example. I could imagine the perpendicular flap moving back and forth, to connect it with an existing tutorial.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked preCICE Discourse discussion, conference abstract, and the related overset_withPreCICE repository case. Compare the existing tutorials, then define a reproducible OpenFOAM overset-mesh example, such as a moving or rotating body. Done means the setup and coupling steps are documented clearly enough to serve as a reusable tutorial.
