Written by cfd.ninja
Source: CFD Direct
Getting Started
Create a project directory within the $HOME/OpenFOAM directory named <USER>-7 (e.g. chris-7 for user chris and OpenFOAM version 7) and create a directory named run within it, e.g. by typing:
mkdir -p $FOAM_RUN
Copy across the backward facing step example, generate the mesh with blockMesh and run the steady flow, incompressible solver simpleFoam
cd $FOAM_RUN cp -r $FOAM_TUTORIALS/incompressible/simpleFoam/pitzDaily . cd pitzDaily blockMesh simpleFoam paraFoam
Refer to the OpenFOAM User Guide to get started.
In this tutorial, you will learn to simulate a simple case (pitzDaily tutorial) using OpenFOAM.
