OpenFOAM/C2/Simulating-flow-in-a-Lid-Driven-Cavity/English-timed

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
00:17	Plotting & validating results on a spreadsheet.
00:21	To record this tutorial, I am using: Linux Operating system Ubuntu version 10.04
00:27	OpenFOAM version 2.1.0 and 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	Lid driven cavity is the most widely used 2D test
00:41	case for validation of a CFD code.
00:44	This is the diagram of Lid Driven Cavity,
00:46	the boundary conditions remain the same.
00:49	A moving wall and three fixedwalls.
00:51	We are solving this for Reynolds no (Re) = 100.
00:56	The moving wall has a velocity of 1 meter per second.
01:01	The path for the Lid Driven Cavity is the same as discussed in the installation tutorial.
01:05	Now, open a command terminal.
01:07	To do this, press Ctrl+Alt+t keys simultaneously on your keyboard.
01:13	In the command terminal
01:17	and type "run" and press Enter.
01:20	cd (space) tutorials and press Enter.
01:25	cd (space) incompressible and press Enter.
01:31	cd (space) icoFoam (Note that F here is capital) and press Enter.
01:38	cd (space) cavity and press Enter.
01:43	Now, type "ls" and press Enter.
01:46	In the file structure of cavity, you will see 3 folders : 0 , constant , and system.
01:51	Now, type cd (space) constant and press Enter.
01:57	Now type "ls" and press Enter.
02:00	The constant folder contains another folder named polyMesh and a file describing the physical properties of fluid.
02:06	Now, type cd (space) polymesh and Press Enter.
02:13	PolyMesh contains a file named 'blockMeshDict'.
02:17	Now type "ls" and press Enter.
02:20	You can see the blockMeshDict
02:22	To open up the blockMeshDict file, type gedit space blockMeshDict. (Note that M and D here are capital).Now press Enter.
02:35	This will Open up the blockMeshDict file.
02:37	Let me drag this to the capture area.
02:41	This contains: coordinates for the lid driven cavity,
02:46	blocking and meshing parameters
02:49	and boundary patches.
02:52	Since there are no arcs as well as no patches to be merged, edges and mergePatchPairs can be kept empty.
03:01	Now close this.
03:03	In the command terminal, type : cd (space) .. (dot) (dot) and press Enter.
03:09	Do this twice. You will come back to the cavity folder.
03:14	Now, type cd (space) system and press Enter.
03:20	Now type "ls", press Enter. This contains three files-
03:27	controlDict, fvSchemes and fvSolutions.
03:31	controlDict contains control parameters for start/end time.
03:35	fvSolution contains discritization schemes used in run time.
03:40	And, fvSchemes contains equation for solvers, tolerance etc.
03:45	Now, again type cd (space) (dot dot) .. and press Enter.
03:51	Now type cd ( space ) 0 (zero) and Press Enter.
03:58	Now type "ls" and press Enter.
04:02	This contains the initial values for boundary conditions like Pressure, Velocity, Temperature etc.
04:08	Now type cd ( space ) (dot dot) . . to return back to the cavity folder.
04:14	Now we need to mesh the geometry.
04:16	We are using a coarse mesh here.
04:19	Mesh the geometry by typing blockMesh in the terminal.
04:23	Now type blockMesh (Note that M here is capital) and press Enter.
04:30	The Meshing is done.
04:32	If there are some errors in the blockMesh file, it will be shown in the terminal.
04:36	To view the geometry,type paraFoam. Note that 'F' here is capital and press Enter.
04:45	This will open the paraview window.
04:49	Now on the left hand side of the object inspector menu, click on Apply.
04:54	You can see the lid driven cavity geometry. Now close this.
05:03	Check the mesh by typing "checkMesh" in the terminal.
05:09	Note that 'M' here is capital and press Enter.
05:13	you can see the number of cells, skewness and other parameters which are associated with the mesh.
05:20	Let me switch back to the slides.
05:22	The solver we are using here is icoFoam:
05:25	icoFoam is a Transient solver for incompressible flow of newtonian fluids.
05:31	Let me switch back to the terminal.
05:34	In the terminal, type "icoFoam".
05:38	Note that 'F' here is capital and press Enter.
05:42	The Iterations running will be seen in the terminal window.
05:45	After the solving is done, type paraFoam in the terminal to view the geometry and the results.
05:59	On the left hand side of object inspector menu
06:02	click on Apply.Now Scroll down the properties on object inspector menu.
06:07	you can see mesh parts, Volume Fields etc.
06:12	Check or uncheck these boxes in the mesh part, to view the different boundary regions of Lid driven cavity.
06:20	Now, after this, on top of the left-hand side on active variable control drop-down menu, change this from solid color to p or capital U which are the initial conditions such as pressure, velocity.
06:36	I will select capital 'U'. Now this will show you the initial condition of velocity.
06:42	On top of the paraview window, you will see the VCR control.
06:49	Click on the play button.
06:52	Now this is the final result of velocity for the lid driven cavity.
06:57	Toggle on the color legend by clicking on the top left of the active variable control menu.
07:08	This is the color legend for U velocity.
07:12	We need to validate the results obtained.
07:14	To do this, let us plot the U and V velocity.
07:17	To do this, go to Filters scroll down > Data Analysis > Plot Over line.
07:26	Click on it.
07:30	You can see X , Y and Z axes.
07:33	Select the X & Y axis turn by turn.
07:39	I will select the X axis and click Apply.
07:45	You can see Pressure and velocity plots being plotted.
07:50	Since it is a non dimensional analysis, we need to plot the graph for u/U v/s y/L for Reynolds number =100
08:00	To do this, in Plot Data click on the Y-axis
08:06	and click APPLY.
08:09	You can see the plot.
08:11	Now in menu bar, go to File > Save Data.
08:15	Give appropriate name to your file.
08:19	I will give this as "cavity".
08:23	The file will be saved as ".csv" (dot csv) file.
08:27	Now click OK. Again click OK.
08:31	Now go to the cavity folder of openfoam directory.
08:37	Scroll down. you can see the cavity.csv file.
08:42	Open it in Open office or LibreOffice Spreadsheet.
08:47	In the LibreOffice spreadsheet, copy the U0 (u velocity) and to the right points 1(Y-axis) columns in another spreadsheet.
08:56	Now, divide both these columns, that is, u zero by capital U and points 1 by capital L
09:07	and plot the results in libreoffice charts option on top, in the menu bar.
09:16	Now let me switch back to the slides.
09:18	Results obtained will be similar to this figure.
09:24	Validate the results on a paper published on Lid Driven Cavity by : Ghia et al. (1982) and Results obtained from Fluent.
09:34	In this tutorial, we learnt:
09:36	File structure of Lid Driven cavity
09:38	Solved lid driven cavity.
09:40	Post-processing of solutions
09:42	And Validation.
09:44	As an assignment, Change some parameters in the lid driven cavity.
09:48	Velocity Magnitude in the 0 folder.
09:51	Kinematic viscosity in transport Properties in constant folder.
09:55	And, plot results of u/U and y/L.
