OpenFOAM Tutorial #3 - Boundary conditions & Time steps

Sunday, December 04, 2011       4 comments

Skeleton of tutorial 3
System
• controlDict
• fvSchemes
• fvSolutions
Boundary / Initial Conditions
• velocity & Pressure


In controlDict we specify the solver to be used, the time steps and the write controls. Then we browse through fvSolutions and fvSchemes in the system folder. We explain OpenFoam schema for Dimensional units of Physical parameters.

The crux of the tutorial is setting the Initial conditions for Pressure & Velocity for the incompressible solver icoFOAM.
Remember !!! Kinematic Pressure i.e P/Rho is used in icoFoam solver.
