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

Validation: Turbulent Zero Pressure Gradient Flat Plate – simpleFOAM, komegaSST
An excellent test case, and case to familiarize yourself with some of the turbulence models available in OpenFOAM is a 2D flat plate with zero pressure gradient. I will solve this problem using the solver simpleFoam and the komegaSST model. Here are the sections of this post: Quick Overview: kω-SST (komegaSST) Boundary Conditions Case set-up … Continue reading Validation: Turbulent Zero Pressure Gradient Flat Plate – simpleFOAM, komegaSST
