curiosityFluids is intended as a resource for scientists, engineers, and students using open-source computational fluid dynamics. Open-source computational tools (for example OpenFOAM) are a crucial part of the CFD eco-system. The open-source platforms of today not only provide a host of useful solvers and packages pre-compiled, but the frameworks allow easy manipulation and customization of code in order to suit specific needs. For example, the turbulence model you want isn’t implemented yet? Add it. Do you need a specific solver algorithm, boundary condition, thermophysical model, transport equation? Add it.
All that said CFD can be challenging, and using open-source tools can be challenging. The goal of curiosityFluids is to share some experience and knowledge to help with this (hopefully). As the site expands it will continue to offer more and more free tutorials, lectures, and tips.

I’m struggling to read equations they appear greyed over to me. Suggesions? I’m likley missing something simple so thanks for your patience.
Hi there
I’d like to find out what kind of turbulence modeling you use for high-mach number aerofoil flows and how you set your problems up?
Best regards
William, I have tried to track you down in Calgary. Even called and left a message with Craig J. at U of C. Have not heard back. Have interesting fluid dynamics project. if interested please respond.
Hi Kevin,
I would definitely be interested in what you have going on. Please email me at wshinman@curiosityfluids.com and we can chat!
Hello,
I hope this post finds well. I am a PhD student. I am using Openfoam for my PhD. I have read the example regarding the Flat Plate with komegaSST. I have a quick question about omega_wall. I saw that you calculate omega_wall using beta = 0.007. I was wondering where did you find beta and is it a constant value? The second question is regarding y+ vs u+. I know that opnefoam comes with the yPlusRAS, which provides the value of y. However, I am still unable to obtain the plot you posted. Could you please clarify how did you get it?
Best,
Please resubmit this comment on the blog post about which you are referring and I will respond. This way it is on the appropriate page.
