| 00:01 | Hello and welcome to the spoken tutorial on Creating Curved geometry in OpenFOAM. |
| 00:06 | In this tutorial, I will show you: |
| 00:09 | Steps for creating a curved geometry in openfoam. |
| 00:14 | Viewing the results in paraview |
| 00:17 | To record this tutorial, |
| 00:19 | I am using: Linux Operating system Ubuntu version 10.04, OpenFOAM version 2.1.0 |
| 00:28 | ParaView version 3.12.0. |
| 00:32 | We will create a geometry for flow over a cylinder. |
| 00:36 | Note that I am using this case just for explanation. |
| 00:41 | The cylinder is in the form of a semi circle. |
| 00:45 | Meshing is a body fitted grid. |
| 00:49 | The entire geometry is divided into blocks.
|
| 00:54 | We break the semi circle into equal number of parts. |
| 00:58 | Now minimize this. |
| 01:03 | Open a 'blockMeshDict' file of the previous tutorial. |
| 01:08 | I have already opened it. |
| 01:12 | Scroll down. For simple geometries, you can see that edges is kept empty. |
| 01:20 | Now Create a new 'blockMeshDict' file. |
| 01:23 | To do this, let us minimize this first. |
| 01:27 | Now, right-click > create document > empty file. |
| 01:34 | Name this as 'blockMeshDict'. |
| 01:40 | Note that M and D here are capital. |
| 01:46 | Open this. |
| 01:51 | Now you can copy the initial few lines from the 'lid driven cavity' up to 'convertTometers'. |
| 01:58 | Go up, copy this up to 'convertToMeters'. |
| 02:04 | Copy this and paste it in the new 'blockMeshDict' file. |
| 02:12 | Now, change the 'convert to meters' from point one to one. |
| 02:18 | As our geometry is in meters, we will keep this as one. |
| 02:24 | Now press Enter , press Enter again. |
| 02:28 | After this, you need to enter the co-ordinates of the geometry in vertices. |
| 02:35 | Let me switch back to the slide. Note that the points should be ordered in such a way starting from 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and so on, as shown in the figure. |
| 02:47 | Minimize the slide. Now, type "vertices" in the 'blockMeshDict' file and press Enter. |
| 02:56 | Insert the open bracket and press Enter. |
| 03:00 | Now enter the co-ordinates of the geometry as shown in the diagram. |
| 03:05 | Let me switch back to the slides. |
| 03:08 | For explanation, I will use right half of the semi-circle. |
| 03:12 | Enter the values for the points in the figure starting from 0. |
| 03:16 | Let me switch back to the 'blockMeshDict' file. |
| 03:20 | Leave some space and enter the co-ordinates of point 0. |
| 03:27 | Open close bracket enter 0.5 (space) 0 (space) 0. Press Enter. |
| 03:36 | Again leave some space , open close bracket. |
| 03:39 | Enter the co-ordinates for point 1 (space) 0 (space) 0. Press Enter. |
| 03:45 | Now leave two vertical spaces, again press Enter, again press Enter. |
| 03:51 | Leave some space and enter the co-ordinates for point number 4. |
| 03:57 | Open close bracket, enter 0.707 (space) 0.707 (space) 0 |
| 04:05 | Press Enter. Leave some space. |
| 04:09 | Open close bracket.Enter the co-ordinates for the point 5. |
| 04:13 | Enter 0.353 (space) 0.353 (space) 0, press Enter. |
| 04:22 | Now, leave 4 vertical spaces and enter co-ordinates for point number 9. |
| 04:27 | 1 2 3 4 , again press Enter, leave some space. |
| 04:34 | Open, close bracket. |
| 04:36 | Enter 0 (space) 1 (space) 0, press Enter. |
| 04:42 | Leave some space. |
| 04:44 | Enter the co-ordinates for point number 10. |
| 04:46 | Open close bracket 0 (space) 0.5 (space) 0 press Enter. |
| 04:54 | Similarly enter the co-ordinates for the remaining points in the geometry. |
| 05:00 | Insert a close bracket put a semi-colon and press Enter. |
| 05:05 | Again press Enter.Now, type "blocks", press Enter. |
| 05:13 | Insert an open bracket, press Enter. |
| 05:16 | Let me switch back to the slides |
| 05:20 | The block numbers are circled as shown in the figure. |
| 05:24 | Now let me switch back to the 'blockMeshDict file'. |
| 05:28 | Leave some space. |
| 05:30 | Now enter the type of the block i.e. Hex, leave some space. |
| 05:37 | Now enter the points for the blocks. |
| 05:41 | Open, close brackets. |
| 05:43 | Leave some space, the simple Grading can be kept as (1 1 1) and press Enter. |
| 05:55 | For creating the blocks, please refer to the tutorial on creating simple geometry in OpenFOAM. |
| 06:02 | Note that there will be more number of blocks in this example. |
| 06:07 | Now, insert a close bracket. |
| 06:10 | Insert a semi-colon, and press Enter. Again press Enter. |
| 06:16 | In the next line, type "edges" and press Enter. |
| 06:22 | Insert a open bracket and press Enter. |
| 06:26 | Here you need to enter the points which are the end points of the arcs. |
| 06:31 | Leave some space and type "arc". Leave some space, type the points which are the end points of the arc. |
| 06:40 | Let me switch back to the slide. Now, insert the end points of the arc |
| 06:46 | In this figure, we start with arc 0 5. |
| 06:52 | Let me switch back to the 'blockMeshDict file'. |
| 06:56 | Enter 0 space 5. |
| 06:59 | Leave some space. Insert open, close bracket. |
| 07:04 | In the bracket, enter the co-ordinates of any intermediate point in between the two arc points. |
| 07:11 | Now, let me switch back again to slides. |
| 07:14 | In the figure, you can see that you have to pick up a point in between the two end points of the arc. |
| 07:23 | In this geometry, I have picked up right half of the circle. |
| 07:28 | Using simple geometric relations, you can find the co-ordinates of the intermediate points as shown in the semi-circle. |
| 07:38 | Similarly you can repeat the procedure for rest of the semi-circle geometry. |
| 07:45 | Now, let me switch back to the 'blockMeshDict file'. |
| 07:48 | Press Enter. |
| 07:50 | Note that there are more number of arcs in this example. |
| 07:55 | Insert a close bracket. |
| 07:58 | Insert a semi -colon, press Enter, again press Enter. |
| 08:02 | Now enter the boundary patches after arcs. |
| 08:06 | Refer to the tutorial on Simple geometry in OpenFOAM, for entering the boundary patches. |
| 08:12 | Enter "boundary", press Enter. |
| 08:15 | Insert open bracket press Enter. Insert close bracket semi-colon, press Enter. |
| 08:21 | Again press Enter. |
| 08:24 | Now, in the next line, type "mergePatchPairs". |
| 08:29 | Note that 'P' here is capital. |
| 08:31 | Press Enter. |
| 08:33 | Insert a open bracket, press Enter. |
| 08:36 | Since there are no patches to be merged, this can be kept empty. |
| 08:40 | Insert a close bracket. |
| 08:42 | Insert a semi colon and press Enter. |
| 08:46 | Let me switch back to the slides. |
| 08:49 | Similarly, enter the co-ordinate points for the points in the front face of unit thickness of the geometry as shown in the figure. |
| 08:57 | Now, open a Command terminal. |
| 09:00 | In the command terminal, type the path for your case. |
| 09:04 | I have already set the path for the tutorial case of flow over cylinder. |
| 09:10 | In the terminal, type "blockMesh" for meshing the geometry and press Enter. |
| 09:18 | Meshing is done. |
| 09:20 | Now, type "paraFoam" in the terminal and press Enter to view the geometry. |
| 09:26 | Let me drag this to the capture area. |
| 09:30 | Now on left-hand side of object inspector menu, click Apply. |
| 09:36 | Geometry will be created as seen in the paraview window. |
| 09:41 | Scroll down the Object inspector menu. |
| 09:44 | Check or uncheck the Mesh field box. |
| 09:49 | You can see different regions of the geometry. |
| 09:53 | You can also see the wire frame of the geometry. |
| 09:56 | On top of the active variable control menu, in the drop down menu, change from Surface to wireframe. |
| 10:05 | You can see the wireframe model of the geometry. |
| 10:11 | Close this. Let me switch back to the slides. |
| 10:16 | In this tutorial, we learnt:How to create a curved geometry. |
| 10:20 | How to enter points for edges in OpenFOAM. |
| 10:24 | This brings us to the end of the tutorial. |
| 10:28 | As an Assignment-Create a geometry with inner semi-circle of radius 2 meters and outer semi- circle of radius 4 meters and view the geometry in paraview. |
