The driven cavity case - Revisited

Driven cavity

In this tutorial, we revisit the classical driven cavity case and we dissect every single dictionary of the case directory. You will learn about,

  • Directory structure of an OpenFOAM case
  • Simulation workflow
  • Saving log files
  • How to control the simulation
  • Understanding the screen output
  • Basic post-processing with paraFoam
  • Basic meshing with blockMesh
  • Monitoring the solution
  • How to interpret errors
  • Sampling and plotting


You can download the case files at this link.
