Needed: Tutorial with OpenFOAM and overset mesh

[MakisH]

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.

Something rotating would actually be even nicer. Like a rotating flexible cylinder.
