CFD Simulation using OpenFOAM and Salome in CAELinux 2012

http://www.caelinux.org/wiki/index.php/Contrib:BondMatt/LaminarPipeFlow

Simple analysis of laminar flow in a 0.2 meter diameter, 8 meter length pipe. Code Saturne (GUI) and OpenFOAM (command line). Basic usage of OpenFOAM's snappyhexmesh.

CFD Simulation using OpenFOAM and Salome in CAELinux 2011

Summary:

This tutorial shows how to use Salome & OpenFOAM to:

1. create the 3D CAD geometry of a Y-shaped pipe in Salome
2. generate a free tetrahedral mesh for the CFD analysis in Salome
3. create an OpenFOAM simulation case and import the mesh from UNV file
4. model the steady state incompressible fluid flow in the pipe
5. visualize the results in Paraview

Geometry (based on a previous version of Salome)

Simple beginning 3D OpenFOAM Tutorial

“In common plastic analysis, deformations are easily inferred, but de fluid computational dynamics its governed by a wide group of less known physics laws and variables that make the results almost unpredictable by simple observation”

This basic tutorial its design to be a guide for the creation of simple 3D CFD cases on OpenFOAM, it most by complemented by further understanding of FEA theory and by no means this tutorial most replace the although complex yet useful documentation from OpenFOAM itself and related sources.

Covers:

• Background.
• Case definition.
• 3D modeling.
• Units.
• Physical parameters.
• Meshing.
• Structuring the case folders.
• Boundary conditions.
• Solving the case.
• Post processing.
• Comparing.
