− | | | + | |We will create a geometry for flow over a cylinder. |
|- | |- | ||
| 00:41 | | 00:41 | ||
− | | | + | |Note that I am using this case just for explanation. |
|- | |- | ||
− | | 00: | + | | 00:46 |
− | | | + | |The cylinder is in the form of a semi circle. |
|- | |- | ||
− | | 00: | + | | 00:50 |
− | | | + | |'''Meshing''' is a body fitted grid. |
− | + | ||
|- | |- | ||
− | | 00:54 | + | |00:54 |
− | | | + | |The entire geometry is divided into '''block'''s. |
|- | |- | ||
− | | 00: | + | | 00:59 |
− | | | + | |We break the semi circle into equal number of parts. |
|- | |- | ||
− | | 01:03 | + | |01:03 |
− | | | + | |Now minimize this. |
|- | |- | ||
| 01:08 | | 01:08 | ||
− | | | + | | Open a 'blockMeshDict' file of the previous tutorial. |
|- | |- | ||
− | | 01: | + | | 01:13 |
− | | | + | |I have already opened it. |
|- | |- | ||
− | | | + | | 01:17 |
− | | | + | |Scroll down. For simple geometries, you can see that '''edges '''is kept empty. |
|- | |- | ||
− | | 01: | + | | 01:25 |
− | | | + | | Now Create a new 'blockMeshDict' file. |
|- | |- | ||
− | | 01: | + | | 01:28 |
− | | | + | |To do this, let us minimize this first. |
|- | |- | ||
− | | | + | | 01:32 |
− | | | + | | Now, right-click > '''create document > empty file'''. |
|- | |- | ||
− | | 01: | + | | 01:39 |
− | | | + | | Name this as 'blockMeshDict'. |
|- | |- | ||
− | | 01: | + | | 01:45 |
− | | | + | |Note that M and D here are capital. |
|- | |- | ||
− | | | + | | 01:51 |
− | | | + | |Open this. |
|- | |- | ||
− | | 01: | + | | 01:56 |
− | | | + | | Now you can copy the initial few lines from the 'lid driven cavity' up to 'convertTometers'. |
|- | |- | ||
− | | 02: | + | | 02:03 |
− | | | + | |Go up, copy this up to 'convertToMeters'. |
|- | |- | ||
− | | 02: | + | | 02:09 |
− | | | + | | Copy this and paste it in the new 'blockMeshDict' file. |
|- | |- | ||
− | | 02: | + | | 02:17 |
− | | | + | |Now, change the 'convert to meters' from point one to one. |
|- | |- | ||
− | | 02: | + | | 02:23 |
− | | | + | | As our geometry is in meters, we will keep this as one. |
|- | |- | ||
− | |02: | + | | 02:29 |
− | | | + | | Now press '''Enter''' , press '''Enter''' again. |
|- | |- | ||
− | | 02: | + | |02:33 |

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 | 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 |
00:37 | We will create a geometry for flow over a cylinder. |
00:41 | Note that I am using this case just for explanation. |
00:46 | The cylinder is in the form of a semi circle. |
00:50 | Meshing is a body fitted grid. |
00:54 | The entire geometry is divided into blocks. |
00:59 | We break the semi circle into equal number of parts. |
01:03 | Now minimize this. |
01:08 | Open a 'blockMeshDict' file of the previous tutorial. |
01:13 | I have already opened it. |
01:17 | Scroll down. For simple geometries, you can see that edges is kept empty. |
01:25 | Now Create a new 'blockMeshDict' file. |
01:28 | To do this, let us minimize this first. |
01:32 | Now, right-click > create document > empty file. |
01:39 | Name this as 'blockMeshDict'. |
01:45 | Note that M and D here are capital. |
01:51 | Open this. |
01:56 | Now you can copy the initial few lines from the 'lid driven cavity' up to 'convertTometers'. |
02:03 | Go up, copy this up to 'convertToMeters'. |
02:09 | Copy this and paste it in the new 'blockMeshDict' file. |
02:17 | Now, change the 'convert to meters' from point one to one. |
02:23 | As our geometry is in meters, we will keep this as one. |
02:29 | Now press Enter , press Enter again. |
02:33 | After this, you need to enter the co-ordinates of the geometry in vertices. |
02:40 | 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. |

05:27 | Now let me switch back to the 'blockMeshDict file'. |
05:31 | Leave some space. |
05:33 | Now enter the type of the block i.e. Hex, leave some space. |
05:41 | Now enter the points for the blocks. |
05:46 | Open, close brackets. |
05:48 | Leave some space, open close brackets, leave some space the simple Grading can be kept as (1 1 1) and press Enter. |
06:04 | For creating the blocks, please refer to the tutorial on creating simple geometry in OpenFOAM. |
06:11 | Note that there will be more number of blocks in this example. |
06:16 | Now, insert a close bracket. |
06:19 | Insert a semi-colon, and press Enter. Again press Enter. |
06:25 | In the next line, type "edges" and press Enter. |
06:31 | Insert a open bracket and press Enter. |
06:35 | Here you need to enter the points which are the end points of the arcs. |
06:40 | Leave some space and type "arc". Leave some space, type the points which are the end points of the arc. |
06:49 | Let me switch back to the slide. Now, insert the end points of the arc |
06:55 | In this figure, we start with arc 0 5. |
07:02 | Let me switch back to the 'blockMeshDict file'. |
07:06 | Enter 0 space 5. |
07:09 | Leave some space. Insert open, close bracket. |
07:12 | In the bracket, enter the co-ordinates of any intermediate point in between the two arc points. |
07:20 | Now, let me switch back again to slides. |
07:23 | In the figure, you can see that you have to pick up a point in between the two end points of the arc. |
07:32 | In this geometry, I have picked up right half of the circle. |
07:37 | Using simple geometric relations, you can find the co-ordinates of the intermediate points as shown in the semi-circle. |
07:47 | Similarly you can repeat the procedure for rest of the semi-circle geometry. |
07:54 | Now, let me switch back to the 'blockMeshDict file'. |
07:57 | Press Enter. |
07:59 | Note that there are more number of arcs in this example. |
08:04 | Insert a close bracket. |
08:07 | Insert a semi -colon, press Enter, again press Enter. |

08:48 | Insert a close bracket. |
08:50 | Insert a semi colon and press Enter. |
08:54 | Let me switch back to the slides. |
08:57 | Similarly, enter the co-ordinate points for the points in the front face of unit thickness of the geometry as shown in the figure. |
09:06 | Now, open a Command terminal. |
09:09 | In the command terminal, type the path for your case. |
09:13 | I have already set the path for the tutorial case of flow over cylinder. |
09:17 | In the terminal, type "blockMesh" for meshing the geometry and press Enter. |
09:25 | Meshing is done. |
09:33 | Now, type "paraFoam" in the terminal and press Enter to view the geometry. |
09:39 | Let me drag this to the capture area. |
09:43 | Now on left-hand side of object inspector menu, click Apply. |
09:49 | Geometry will be created as seen in the paraview window. |
09:54 | Scroll down the Object inspector menu. |
09:57 | Check or uncheck the Mesh field box. |
10:02 | You can see different regions of the geometry. |
10:06 | You can also see the wire frame of the geometry. |
10:09 | On top of the active variable control menu, in the drop down menu, change from Surface to wireframe. |
10:18 | You can see the wireframe model of the geometry. |
10:24 | Close this. Let me switch back to the slides. |
