A cfMesh workflow to speed up and improve your meshing

Here, I'll cover the basic workflow that I implement when I am using cfMesh. First, when do I use cfMesh? I love cfMesh. I find it robust, easy to use (with this workflow), and gives high quality hex-dominant meshes for use with OpenFOAM. But there are a few cases where I do not use cfMesh. … Continue reading A cfMesh workflow to speed up and improve your meshing

The Ahmed Body

The Ahmed body is a geometric shape first proposed by Ahmed and Ramm in 1984. The shape provides a model to study geometric effects on the wakes of ground vehicles (like cars). Image highlights: In this post, I will use simpleFoam to simulate the Ahmed body at a Reynolds number of 10^6 using the k-omega … Continue reading The Ahmed Body
