The driven cavity case - Revisited

In this tutorial, we revisit the classical driven cavity case and we dissect every single dictionary of the case directory. You will learn about,

• Directory structure of an OpenFOAM case
• Simulation workflow
• Saving log files
• How to control the simulation
• Understanding the screen output
• Basic post-processing with paraFoam
• Basic meshing with blockMesh
• Monitoring the solution
• How to interpret errors
• Sampling and plotting

You can download the case files at this link.
