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 this time we will focus on

• meshing the case
• running and post processing the simulation.

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