Basics
- Elbow case - In this tutorial you will get a first hands-on glimpse into the workflow of CFD simulations with OpenFOAM.
- Basic case setup - Using icoFoam solver, simulate 75 s of flow in an elbow.
- Basics about OpenFOAM - Here you will find a video on the very basics, history and philosophy of OpenFOAM.
- Cavity case revisited - Here you will be taken into the depth of an OpenFOAM case in order to understand all the important in- and outputs required for a CFD simulation in OpenFOAM.
- Taylor Couette flow - In this short tutorial you will experience your first steady state simulation, where you can directly compare your results with experiments from literature.
- T-junction case - In this tutorial you will try a simple simulation with the your newly acquired knowledge on CFD in OpenFOAM.
