Time Narration
00:01 Hello and welcome to the spoken tutorial on Flow over a flat plate using OpenFOAM.
00:06 In this tutorial, I will teach you about:

Geometry of the flat plate Changing the grid spacing in meshing Postprocessing results in ParaView and Visualizing using Vector Plot.

00:19 To record this tutorial, I am using:

Linux Operating system Ubuntu version 12.04. OpenFOAM version 2.1.1 and ParaView version 3.12.0

00:30 The tutorials were recorded using the versions specified in previous slide. Subsequently the tutorials were edited to latest versions. To install latest system requirements go to Installation Sheet
00:35 Flow over flat plate is a fundamental problem in fluid mechanics.
00:40 We can visualize the growth of the boundary layer. Boundary layer is a very thin region above the body
00:46 where the velocity is 0.99 times the free stream velocity.
00:51 This is a diagram of flow over the flat plate.
00:54 The boundary conditions are given as follows.

You have the Inlet, the Plate, Top – which is the Farfield and Outlet – which is the pressure outlet boundary.

01:05 The Free stream velocity U = 1 m/s and we are solving this for Reynolds number (Re) = 100.
01:13 Now let us go to the home folder. In the home folder, click on the OpenFoam folder.
01:20 Then go to the 'run' directory. You will see 'Tutorials'. Click on it. Scroll down and then click on Incompressible. Scroll down.
01:32 You will see the 'simpleFoam' folder. Click on it. This solver suits our case.
01:39 In this, create a folder by the name flatplate. Right click - Create New Folder - flatplate.
01:53 Now, let's open the pitzdaily case.
01:56 Let me zoom this. Copy the three folders - 0, constant and system. Copy this.
02:04 Now let us go one level back. Paste these three folders inside the flatplate folder.
02:14 Open the constant folder and then the polyMesh folder.
02:19 Change the geometry and boundary condition names in the blockMeshDict file.
02:24 I have already made the changes. Let us open the blockMeshDict file . Scroll down. The geometry is in meters.
02:34 We have set the dimensions of the flatplate.
02:38 We can see the simpleGrading. It is kept as (1 3 1) as we need a finer mesh near the plate.
02:24 Now close this. Go two levels back.
02:50 Similarly, make changes in the boundary condition names inside the files in the '0' folder.
02:57 These files have pressure, velocity and wall functions.
03:03 To calculate the values of wall functions, please refer to the earlier tutorial in the OpenFoam series. Let us go one level back.
03:12 The system folder can be kept default. Let us close this.
03:18 Now let us open the terminal window. In the terminal window, type "run" and press Enter.
03:27 Type cd space tutorials press Enter.
03:30 Type cd incompressible press Enter.
03:34 Type cd space simpleFoam press Enter.
03:40 Now type "ls" and press Enter.
03:43 We can see the flatplate folder.
03:46 Now, type cd space flatplate and press Enter.
03:51 Now type "ls" and press Enter.
03:54 You can see the three folders 0, constant and system.
03:58 Now, we will mesh the geometry. We are using a course mesh for this problem. Meshing can be done by typing blockMesh in the terminal.
04:07 Press Enter. Meshing has been done.
04:10 Note that if there is some error in the blockMesh file, it will be shown in the terminal window.
04:16 To view the geometry, type “paraFoam”, press Enter.
04:22 After the ParaView window opens, on the left hand side of the object inspector menu, click Apply.
04:30 We can see the geometry. Close the ParaView window. Let me switch back to the slides.
04:37 The solver we are using here is simpleFoam. SimpleFoam is a steady state solver for in compressible and turbulent flows.
04:46 Let me switch back to the terminal window. In the terminal window, type "simpleFoam" and press Enter.
04:54 You will see the iterations running in the terminal window.
05:00 Once the solving is done, type "paraFoam" to view the results.
05:04 On the left hand side of the Object Inspector menu, click Apply to view the geometry.
05:10 Scroll down the properties panel of the Object Inspector menu for time step, regions and fields.
05:17 To view the contours from the top drop down menu, in the Active Variable Control menu, change from solid color to capital 'U'.
05:28 You can see the initial condition of the velocity.
05:32 Now on top of the ParaView window, you will see the VCR control.
05:37 Click on the Play button.
05:42 You will see the contour of Pressure or Velocity on the flat plate accordingly.
05:48 This is the velocity contour. Toggle on the Color legend.
05:52 To do this, click on the color legend icon on the Active Variable Control menu.
05:59 Click Apply in the Object inspector menu.
06:02 In the Object inspector menu, click on Display.
06:06 Scroll down and click on Rescale to data range.
06:12 Let me shift this Color legend on top to visualize the Vector Plot. Go to the Filters Menu > Common > Glyph.
06:24 Go to the Properties in Object Inspector menu.
06:29 Click Apply on the left hand side of Object Inspector menu.
06:33 You can change the number of vectors by changing their size at the bottom.
06:38 Also, the size of the vectors can be changed by clicking on the Edit button. The Set Scale Factor can be changed to 0.1.
06:50 Again, click the Apply button.
06:53 Now let me zoom this.
06:55 To do this, in the Active Variable Control menu, click on zoom To Box option
06:61 and zoom over any area that you desire.
07:07 We can see the parabolic variation of the vector plots as the flow moves over the plate.
07:13 Delete this. Now delete the vector plot.
07:18 Also, we can see that the color near to 1 corresponds to the velocity of 0.99 times the free stream velocity.
07:26 You can also plot the variation of velocity along the X and Y axes using the plot over data line.
07:35 This brings us to the end of the tutorial. In this tutorial, we learnt:

Geometry and meshing of the flat plate geometry and Vector plotting in ParaView.

07:46 As an Assignment- Create a geometry of flow over a flat plate.Refine the grid spacing near the plate.
