[https:// github.com/jnmlujnmlu/OpenFOAMTeaching/blob/master/GavinTabor/externalFlows/OFWorkshop11.pdf This tutorial] shows you how to set up a case for the external flow around a car from scratch. You will see a compact step-by-step guideline to follow through with a real-life example. Here the focus is on:

• meshing
  • blockMesh
  • snappyHexMesh
  • mesh quality
• turbulence modelling
• boundary conditions
• numerics
• functionObjects
