Free surface flows in OpenFOAM

In this tutorial you will find a compact introduction to the theory behind free surface flows in OpenFOAM and a step-by-step guide to run the 2D spillway tutorial. You will

• create your mesh with
  • blockMesh
  • snappyHexMesh
  • extrudeMesh
• set the physical properties
• set the boundary conditions
• initialize the fields
• set the numerical schemes

The case files can be found [https:// github.com/unicfdlab/TrainingTracks/tree/master/OpenFOAM/freeSurfaceFlows-0F3.0.0/cases here].
