Time	Narration
00:01	Hello and welcome to the spoken tutorial on creating a simple geometry in OpenFOAM
00:06	In this tutorial I will show you
00:08	How to create a simple geometry
00:11	How to view the geometry in paraview
00:15	To record this tutorial
00:16	I am using Linux Operating system Ubuntu version10.04 OpenFOAM version 2.1.0 ParaView version 3.12.0
00:27	In CFD the Pre-processing part consists of creating geometry and meshing it.
00:33	Let us take the Lid driven cavity case of the previous tutorial as an example.
00:38	Recall the path for he earlier tutorial,
00:40	I have already opened the command terminal and entered the path for lid driven cavity
00:48	There are three folders 0,constant, and system Geometry is inside the polymesh folder of constant
00:55	In the command terminal type cd space constant and press Enter
01:03	Now type ls and press Enter
01:06	In this there is another folder called as polymesh
01:10	Now type cd space polymesh and press Enter
01:18	Now type ls and press Enter
01:22	This contains the geometry file called as blockMeshDict
01:26	Open the blockMeshDict file with any editor of your choice
01:30	In the terminal type gedit space blockMeshDict( Note that M and D are capital) and press Enter
01:45	Let me drag this to the capture area
01:49	Now minimise this
01:53	Let me switch back to the slides
01:55	In openfoam the entire geometry is broken into blocks
01:59	The blocks are numbered starting from 0 as shown in the figure
02:08	Note that in OpenFOAM for creating a 2D geometry you need to give a a unit cell thickness value in the z-axis.
02:19	lid driven cavity is of length 1 and height 1 minimise the slide
02:29	On your desktop create an empty file by right click > create document > Empty file name this as blockMeshDict.(Note that M and D here are capital).
02:48	Open this. Now Copy the data from the original lid driven cavity blockMeshDict file to the new blockMeshDict file from line 0.
02:59	Scroll up line 0 upto convertTometers. Copy this and paste it here.
03:15	Scroll down. Now leave some space after converttometers.
03:21	Enter 1 as the geometry is in meters. Insert a semicolon and press Enter
03:30	Again press Enter in the file type vertices and press Enter
03:39	Insert the open bracket and press Enter
03:43	Press the tab key. Start with point 0, insert open, close brackets, Enter
03:52	0 space 0 space 0 and press enter. Again press tab key open close bracket .
04:02	Move towards point 1 in positive x-axis and enter 1 space 0 space 0 and press Enter
04:12	Again press tab key open close bracket. Move towards point 2 in positive x-y plane and enter 1 space 1 space 0 and press Enter
04:26	Again press tab key open close bracket enter the 3rd point in positive y axis 0 space 1 space 0 press Enter
04:39	Again press tab key enter the 4th point on the front face, open close bracket 0 space 0 space 0.1 and press Enter
04:51	Similarly enter the other points with one unit value in the positive z -axis
04:56	close the bracket and insert a semicolon after it. Press Enter,again press Enter
05:03	Below vertices are the blocks. Type blocks and press Enter. Insert a Open bracket and press enter
05:16	Let me switch back to the slides
05:19	Note that Lid driven cavity is taken as a single block
05:24	Let me switch back to blockmeshdict
05:27	Enter the points for the blocks in the clockwise sense
05:31	We are using here hexa hedal blocks for meshing.
05:34	Now type hex leave some space in brackets enter 0 space 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 again leave some space
05:53	Note that for multiple blocks the points will be more.
05:58	After this enter the grid points in the x,y,and z directions
06:02	In brackets open close brakets enter 30 space 30 space 1 leave some space , you can modify the grid as an when needed
06:16	Grid point in z-axis can be taken as one
06:22	Now leave some space and type simple grading leave some space open close bracket enter 1 space 1 space 1
06:36	This is the grid spacing in the x y and z direction. Press Enter
06:43	Insert close bracket, insert a semicolon and press Enter
06:48	Again press Enter. Now type edges, and press Enter
06:55	As this is a simple geometry edges can be kept empty
07:00	Insert open bracket press Enter, close the bracket ,insert a semicolon and press Enter
07:07	Again press Enter. Below edges are the boundary conditions.
07:11	Here you need to enter the boundary name for the faces
07:15	Type boundary and press Enter .
07:19	insert a open bracket and press Enter
07:23	Now let me switch back to the slides
07:26	In the geometry the upper wall is moving and other three walls are fixed.
07:31	The front and back faces are named as empty as this is a 2D problem
07:39	Open the new blockMeshDict file again
07:42	In boundary put the name of the patch as moving wall . Press Enter
07:51	Now Insert a open curly bracket and press Enter
07:56	Now enter the type for the moving wall , enter type space wall
08:06	insert a semicolon and press Enter
08:09	Now insert open bracket, and press Enter. Press the tab key. Open close bracket.
08:20	In this bracket enter the pointfor for faces
08:24	Let me switch to the slide
08:27	Note that order of the points should be in such a way that the thumb should be normal to the face
08:34	And fingers making a curl as shown in the figure .
08:39	The curl can be clockwise or anti- clockwise
08:43	Also note that the points should match with the points inserted in vertices
08:48	Now let me switch back to the new blockmeshdict file .
08:52	Now in the faces enter 3 space 7 space 6 space 2.
09:01	Let me switch back to the slide. These are the point for the moving wall 3,7,6,2.
09:09	Minimise this. Note that you can start from any point on that face. Now press Enter
09:17	Close the bracket again press Enter. Close the curly bracket.
09:22	Another note we need to enter a semi- colon, after you insert the points, a faces now after the curly brackets, press Enter again press Enter
09:35	Now similarly enter boundary condition and faces for the fixed wall
09:40	Being a 2D problem the type of boundary for front and back face can be kept as empty.
09:46	Refer to the figure in the slide. For entering the points. Minimise this
09:52	Insert the closed brackets, put a semicolon and press Enter, again press Enter
09:59	Now type mergePatchPairs and press Enter
10:04	Since their are no patches to merge it can be kept empty
10:08	Insert open close bracket. Insert a semi-colon and press Enter
10:14	We are done with creating the blockmeshdict file. Save this
10:18	The complete blockMeshDict file is as shown here.
10:26	Close both the blockMeshDict files
10:29	Note that the command terminal will not work until blockMeshDict file is closed
10:35	Switch back to the terminal. Now type cd (dot) (dot) twice to return back to the cavity folder. Now Mesh the geometry
10:45	To do this in a terminal type: blockMesh and press Enter
10:53	Now View the geometry by typing in the command terminal paraFoam and press Enter
10:59	This will open the ParaView window
11:03	Now On the left hand side click Apply on object inspector menu thus you can see the geometry.
11:13	Now let me switch back to the slides
11:16	In this tutorial we learnt:
11:18	Creating a simple geometry in OpenFOAM
