Day 12
Welcome back to Day 12. Today we will continue to explore the possibilities OpenFOAM offers to extend the source code according to our needs.
Go back to "3 weeks" series.
Modeling chocolate
This tutorial is an excellent summary of all the information you will need to implement your own custom solvers or libraries in OpenFOAM by taking you through the implementation amongst others on the Casson model, which describes the flow of molten chocolate. The focus is on:
- header files
- base types
- fvMesh
- GeometricField
- IOobject and objectRegistry
- Higher-level programming
- fvc::, fvm:: operators
- compilation
- Boussinesq approximation
- Casson model
End of Day 12
We arrived at the end of Day 12. By now you should be able to run not only simulations of real life problems, but you should have an extensive experience as well as knowledge on how to implement your own additional model, if your problem cannot be described by the standard models in OpenFOAM. Tomorrow we will com back with some tutorials on (conjugate) heat transfer and reacting flows. Until then take a break.
