Welcome to Day 6. By now you should have a good understanding of the very basics of OpenFOAM. Today we will further improve your knowledge by going in the direction of real life applications. You cannot mesh everything with the simple blockMesh utility. For real life geometries you will need more. Today you will learn this by creating your own arbitrary
- geometry
- mesh
Go back to "3 weeks" series.
Open source geometry creation
Here you will get a detailed introduction into two alternatives for the creation of geometries as inputs for a CFD project in OpenFOAM
- Salome
- Onshape
Meshing in OpenFOAM
The saying goes "Who owns the mesh, owns the solution". In OpenFOAM there are several ways to set up a mesh. On the one hand you can import it from external tools, you can use the simple blockMesh utility [1] [2] [3] or you can create your arbitrary mesh with snappyHexMesh. This tutorial will show you all the possibilities. The topics covered are:
- mesh quality assessment
- mesh conversion from external tools
- blockMesh
- snappyHexMesh
