Go back to Tutorials.

Installing OpenFOAM

In order to be able to complete the tutorials, you will have to install OpenFOAM. There are multiple ways to do this. First, follow the official guideline [http:// www.openfoam.com/download/installation.php here].

Alternatively, you can follow the video tutorial of Jozsef Nagy or the written tutorial of Joel Guerrero.

First simulation - Flow in an elbow

In this tutorial you will get a first hands-on glimpse into the workflow of CFD simulations with OpenFOAM. The following topics will be covered:

  • basic case setup
  • initial values
  • mesh
  • simulation (2D elbow case with three meshes)
  • postprocessing
