Go back to Day 1.

Go back to "first glimpse" series

First simulation in OpenFOAM

In these videos

• part 1
• part 2

you will learn about

• the basic case setup of OpenFOAM
• the initial values of your simulation
• the mesh (e.g. the boundaries)
• running the simulation of the flow in a 2D elbow case with three different meshes
• post processing

You will familiarize yourself with the terminal in Linux, where you will run all your simulations in OpenFOAM. You will also get a first idea on the work flow that you have to follow in order to run a successful simulation.
