[Openfoam Tutorial 2] Lid-Driven Cavity Flow

Let’s Talk about Openfoam! The Purpose will be to show you how to operate the OpenFoam solver with the minimum of hassle and I’ll try to teach you some knowledge about CFD Simulation along the way, brushing off my own dusty CFD skills ;-) What we will learn in this video: 00:00:00 Introduction 00:03:03 Lid-Driven Cavity Explanation 00:09:03 Pre-processing 00:14:43 00:22:38 Boundary conditions and initial conditions 00:29:39 Physical Properties 00:32:04 Controlling the simulation time 00:40:25 Viewing the Mesh 00:42:33 Running an application 00:45:03 Post-processing 01:00:17 Increasing the mesh resolution 01:12:26 Plotting Graphs and Curves 01:19:37 Introducing mesh grading 01:29:02 Increasing the Reynolds number 01:40:05 High Reynolds number flow 01:51:20 Changing the case geometry What is Openfoam? Openfoam is currently the leading free and open-source solver for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). It belongs to the Openfoam foundation and it is distributed under a GPL License. This GPL License gives you the freedom to redistribute the software and it garanties that the usage will remain free. Check my blog and other Open-Source Simulation Tutorials:
