2D Circular cylinder - Vortex shedding

In this tutorial, we setup the classical case of the flow around a 2D circular cylinder at various Reynolds number. We use this case to understand how to setup different solvers and physics (laminar, turbulent, compressible). You will learn,

• Setting incompressible and compressible cases
• Running laminar and turbulent cases
• Interpreting the results
• Mapping solutions from a coarse mesh to a fine mesh
• Field initialization to speedup the computation
• Converting a mesh to OpenFOAM format
• Sampling, plotting, and scripting
• Field manipulations
• Monitoring the solution
• Running parametrical studies
• Computing and monitoring forces and other quantities of interest

You can download the case files in the following link
