Time'	Narration
00:01	Hello and welcome to the spoken tutorial on Simulating Flow in a Lid Driven Cavity using openfoam
00:07	In this tutorial I will show you
00:09	The Lid Driven Cavity file structure
00:12	Meshing the Geometry
00:14	Solving and post-processing results in Paraview
00:18	Plotting & validating results on a spreadsheet.
00:21	To record this tutorial
00:22	I am using Linux Operating system Ubuntu version 10.04 .
00:27	OpenFOAM version 2.1.0 ParaView version 3.12.0
00:33	Lid driven cavity is the most widely used 2D test
00:36	case for validation of a CFD code
00:39	This is diagram of Lid Driven Cavity
00:42	The boundary conditions remain the same
00:44	A moving wall and three fixedwalls
00:47	We are solving this for Reynolds no (Re) = 100
00:50	The moving wall has a velocity of 1 meters per second
00:54	The path for the Lid Driven Cavity is the same as discussed in the installation tutorial
01:00	Now Open a command terminal
01:02	To do this press Ctrl+Alt+t simultaneously on your keyboard
01:08	In the command terminal type the path for lid driven cavity
01:12	Now type run and press enter
01:15	cd (space) tutorials and Press enter
01:20	cd (space) incompressible and Press enter
01:26	cd (space) icoFoam (Note that F here is capital) and Press enter
01:33	cd (space) cavity and Press Enter
01:38	Now type ls and press enter
01:41	In the file structure of cavity you will see 3 folders : 0 , constant , and system
01:46	Now type cd (space) constant and press enter
01:52	Now type ls and press enter
01:55	The constant folder contains another folder named polymesh and a file describing the physical properties of fluid.
02:02	Now type cd (space) polymesh and Press Enter
02:08	Polymesh contains a file named blockMeshDict
02:12	Now type ls and press enter
02:15	You can see the blockMeshDict
02:17	To open up the blockMeshDictfile type gedit blockMeshDict (Note that M and D here are capital) Now press enter
02:30	This will Open up the blockMeshDict file
02:32	Let me drag this to the capture area
02:36	This contains : cordinates for lid driven cavity
02:41	blocking and meshing parameters
02:44	and boundary patches.
02:47	Since there are no arcs as well as no patches to be merged
02:51	edges and mergePatchPairs can be kept empty
02:57	Now close this
02:58	In the command terminal type : cd (space) .. (dot) (dot) and press enter.
03:04	Do this twice. you will come back to the cavity folder
03:09	Now type cd (space) system and press enter,
03:16	Now type ls press enter this contains three files
03:22	controlDict, fvSchemes and fvSolutions
03:26	controlDict contains control parameters for start/end time.
03:30	fvSolution contains discritization schemes used in run time.
03:35	AndfvSchemes contains equation for solver,
03:38	tolerance etc.
03:40	Now again type cd (space) (dot dot) . . and press enter
03:47	Now type cd ( space ) 0 (zero) and Press enter
03:53	Now type ls and press enter
03:57	This contains the initial values for boundary conditions like
04:00	Pressure ,Velocity,Temperature etc.
04:03	Now Type cd ( space ) (dot dot) . . to return back to the cavity folder
04:09	Now we need to mesh the geometry
04:11	We are using a course mesh here.
04:14	Mesh the geometry by typing blockMesh in the terminal.
04:18	Now type blockMesh (Note that M here is capital) and press enter
04:25	TheMeshing is done.
04:27	If there is some error in the blockMesh file it will be shown in the terminal
04:31	To view the geometry
04:32	Type paraFoam , Note that F here is capital and press enter
04:40	This will open the paraview window
04:44	Now on the left hand side of the object inspector menu click on Apply.
04:49	You can see the lid driven cavity geometry now close this
04:58	Check the mesh by typing checkMesh in the terminal
05:04	Note that M here is capital and press enter
05:08	you can see the number of cells ,
05:10	skewness and other parameters
05:12	which are associated with the mesh
05:15	Let me switch back to the slides.
05:18	The solver we are using here is icoFoam :
05:20	icoFoam is a Transient solver for incompressible flow of newtonian fluids
05:26	Let me switch back to the terminal
05:29	In the terminal type icoFoam
05:33	Note that F here is capital and press enter
05:37	The Iterations running will be seen in the terminal window.
05:40	After the solving is done type paraFoam in the terminal
05:44	to view the geometry and the results
05:54	On the left hand side of object inspector menu
05:57	click on Apply
05:59	Now Scroll down the properties on objector inspector menu
06:02	you can see mesh part,volume fields etc
06:07	Check or uncheck these boxes in the mesh part
06:11	to view the different boundary regions of Lid driven cavity
06:15	Now after this on top of the left-hand side on active variable control
06:21	dropdown menu change this from solid color to p orcapital U
06:26	which are the initial conditions such as pressure , velocity
06:31	I will select capital U. Now this will show you the initial condition of velocity
06:37	on top of the paraview window you can see the VCR control
06:44	Click on the play button
06:47	Now this is the final result of velocity for lid driven cavity
06:52	Toggle on the color legend by clicking on the top left of the active variable control menu
07:03	This is the color legend for U velocity
07:07	We need to validate the results obtained
07:09	To do this let us plot the U and V velocity
07:12	To do this Go to Filters scroll down > Data Analysis > Plot Over line
07:21	Click on it
07:23	You can see X , Y and Z axis
07:25	Select the X & Y axis turn by turn.
07:31	I will select the X axis and click Apply
07:37	You can see Pressure and velocity plots being plotted
07:42	Since it is a non dimensional analysis
07:44	we need to plot the graph for u/U v/s y/L for Reynolds number =100
07:52	To do this in Plot Data click on the Y-axis
07:58	And click APPLY
08:01	You can see the plot
08:03	Now in menu bar go to File > Save Data
08:09	Give appropriate name to your file
08:11	I will give this as cavity
08:15	The file will be saved as .csv file
08:19	Now click ok. Again click ok
08:23	Now go to the cavity folder of openfoam directory.
08:29	Scroll down you can see the cavity.csv file
08:34	Open it in Open office or LibreOffice Spreadsheet
08:39	In the libreoffice spreadsheet copy the U0 (u velocity) and to the right point 1(Y-axis) columns
08:46	in another spreadsheet
08:48	Now divide both these coloumns
08:52	that is u zero by capital U and points 1 by capital L
08:59	And Plot the results in libreoffice charts option on top in the menu bar.
09:08	Now let me switch back to the slides
09:11	Results obtained will be similar to this figure
09:16	Validate the result on a paper published on Lid Driven Cavity by : Ghia et al. (1982) and
09:22	Results obtained from Fluent
09:24	In this tutorial we learnt
09:26	File structure of Lid Driven cavity
09:28	Solved lid driven cavity.
09:30	Post-processing of solutions
09:32	AndValidation
09:34	As as Assignment,
09:35	Change some parameters in the lid driven cavity
09:38	* Velocity Magnitude in the 0 folder
