In this post, I'll give a simple example of how to create curves in blockMesh. For this example, we'll look at the following basic setup: As you can see, we'll be simulating the flow over a bump defined by the curve: $latex y=H*\sin\left(\pi x \right) $ First, let's look at the basic blockMeshDict for this … Continue reading Tutorial: Creating curves in blockMesh

Tips for tackling the OpenFOAM learning curve
The most common complaint I hear, and the most common problem I observe with OpenFOAM is its supposed "steep learning curve". I would argue however, that for those who want to practice CFD effectively, the learning curve is equally as steep as any other software. There is a distinction that should be made between "user … Continue reading Tips for tackling the OpenFOAM learning curve
Automatic Airfoil C-Grid Generation for OpenFOAM – Rev 1
Airfoil Mesh Generated with curiosityFluidsAirfoilMesher.py Here I will present something I've been experimenting with regarding a simplified workflow for meshing airfoils in OpenFOAM. If you're like me, (who knows if you are) I simulate a lot of airfoils. Partly because of my involvement in various UAV projects, partly through consulting projects, and also for testing … Continue reading Automatic Airfoil C-Grid Generation for OpenFOAM – Rev 1
