Description
OpenFOAM doesn’t need to be overwhelming.
You can use it with clarity and intent to model and simulate your specific case.
Unfortunately, too many beginners rely on the isolated tutorial cases or random YouTube videos, only to realise simulations fail when they make changes to any of the numerous parameters.
It’s easy to feel lost and even give up.
This is a structured, clear and concise guide (without the fluff).
It aims to give you practical knowledge by working through a validated convection case and explaining the detail behind my unique approach to this open-source tool.
- The structure of OpenFOAM – how it fits together for CFD simulation
- A better workflow for CFD simulation – the key to less fatigue and consistent results
- Understanding the physics before simulation setup
- Creating a modelling strategy – a holistic view of the process
- Generating a mesh that makes sense – no two meshes are equal
- Choosing the right solver – with confidence
- Validating your results – this is what matters
- Troubleshooting common issues
I created this from my own experience, hindsight and specific struggles of other Research Students and Engineers trying to learn it.
