Go back to Day 1.

[http:// www.tugraz.at/fileadmin/user_upload/Institute/IPPT/Area-PharmEng_Particles/SoftwareTraining/OpenFOAM/2_blockMeshIcoFoam.mp4 blockMesh with the cavity case]

The cavity case is excellent for the introduction into the OpenFOAM internal simple meshing utility called blockMesh. You might have already run this case, but [http:// www.tugraz.at/fileadmin/user_upload/Institute/IPPT/Area-PharmEng_Particles/SoftwareTraining/OpenFOAM/2_blockMeshIcoFoam.mp4 this time] we will focus on

  • the dictionaries (e.g. blockMeshDict)
  • meshing the case
  • running and postprocessing the simulation.

You might consider creating a copy of the cavity tutorial by typing e.g.
