Time Narration
00:01 Hello and welcome to the spoken tutorial on Supersonic flow over a wedge using OpenFOAM
00:07 In this tutorial I will show you How to solve a compressible flow problem of supersonic flow over a wedge How to post process the results in paraView.
00:18 To record this tutorial I am using Linux Operating system Ubuntu version 10.04

OpenFOAM version 2.1.0 ParaView version 3.12.0

00:30 To practice this tutorial a learner should have some basic knowledge of Compressible flows andGas Dynamics
00:38 Let us now solve supersonic flow over a wedge using OpenFOAM and see the shock structure formed using paraview
00:47 The problem consists of a wedge with semi-angle of 15 degrees kept in a uniform supersonic flow
00:55 The Inlet velocity is 5 meters per second
01:00 The boundary conditions are set as shown in the figure
01:05 The type of solver I am using here is rhoCentralFoam
01:10 It is a Density-based compressible flow solver It is based on central- upwind schemes of Kurganov and Tadmor
01:21 Open a command terminal to do this press ctrl +alt+ t keys simultaneously on your keyboard
01:28 In the command terminal type path for supersonic flow over a wedge
01:35 In the terminal Type 'run' and press enter
01:40 cd tutorial - and Press Enter cd compressible - and Press Enter cd rhoCentralFoam - and Press Enter
02:02 cd wedge15Ma5
02:13 This is the name of the folder of supersonic flow over a wedge in rhoCentralFoam and press enter
02:21 Now type ls and press enter
02:24 You will see three folders : 0,constant and system.
02:29 Now open the blockMeshDict file,to do this
02:34 type cd space constant and press enter
02:41 cd space polyMesh note that M here is capital and press enter
02:49 Now type ls and press enter you can see the blockMeshDict file
02:54 To viewblockMeshDict file type gedit space blockMeshDict note that M and D here are capital press enter
03:08 let me drag this to the capture area scroll down
03:14 In this you need to calculate the co-ordinate for the wedge
03:20 This has been already calculated and set up in the problem
03:23 The rest of the data remains the same
03:29 In boundary patches boundaries are set as shown in the figure
03:33 Close blockMeshDict file
03:36 in the command terminal type cd ..(dot dot) twice to return back to wedge folder
03:45 Now Open the 0 folder
03:51 To do this type cd space 0 and press enter
03:58 Type ls and press enter
04:02 This contains the initial boundary condition for pressure,velocity and Temperature
04:10 Type cd .. (dot dot) and press enter.Now we need to mesh the geometry
04:19 To do this in the command terminal type blockMesh and Press Enter Meshing has been done
04:32 Now to view the geometry in the command terminal 'type paraFoam' and press enter This will open the paraview window
04:45 On the left hand side of object inspector menu click APPLY
04:53 In this you can see the geometry in which the rectangular section upstream changes to a wedge downstream Close the paraview window
05:05 Now run the solver 'rhoCentralFoam'
05:11 To do this in the command terminal type rhoCentralFoam and Press Enter
05:20 The iterations running can be seen in the terminal window
05:24 Iterations running will stop after it converges or at the end of the time step Now the solving has been done
05:34 To visualise these results let us open the paraview window once again
05:40 In the command terminal type “paraFoam” and press Enter
05:49 Again on the left hand side of object inspector menu click APPLY
05:56 On the left hand side top in active variable control menu'you will see a drop down menu showing solid color. Now click on it And change from solid color to capital U'
06:14 Now make the color legend ON by clicking on the left hand side top of active variable control menu and make the color legend ON click on it
06:28 On top of the Paraview window you can see the VCR control Click on PLAY
06:37 You can see the final results of U velocity
06:42 Now scroll down the properties in object inspector menu on the left hand side Now click on display besides properties
06:56 Scroll down and click on Rescale to Size You can see the final value of Velocity magnitude
07:05 Similarly you can select pressureYou can see the final result of pressure Now close the paraview window
07:16 You can also calculate the Mach number for the flow To do this we can use the Openfoam utility by typing Mach in the command terminal
07:26 Type Mach
07:29 Note that M here is capital and press enter.You can see that Mach number is calculated for each time step
07:36 Now again open the paraview window.By typing in the command terminal paraFoamand press enter
07:48 Click APPLY scroll down.In volume fields Check the Mabox and again click APPLY
08:04 On top of the active variable control menu click on Solid Color and change it to Ma
08:11 In the VCR control menu again click on PLAY and make the color legend ON
08:21 You can see the Mach number in the color legend and corresponding colours
08:29 We notice here that when the wedge is kept in supersonic flow it produce a shock across which the flow properties like temprature, pressure and density drastically changes
08:43 Now Let me switch back to the slides' The solved tutorial can be validated with exact 'solution
08:50 available in basic books of Aerodynamics by John D Anderson
08:55 In this tutorial we learnt: Solving a compressible flow problem

Velocity and pressure contour for the wedge OpenFOAM utility for calculating the Mach number

09:06 As an Assignment Vary the wedge angle between 10 ° to 15 ° to view the shock characteristic for the flow
09:14 This bring us to the end of tutorial watch The video available at this URL: http://spoken-tutorial.org/What_is_a_Spoken_Tutorial
09:21 It summarizes the Spoken Tutorial project. If you do not have good bandwidth, you can download and watch it.
09:28 The Spoken Tutorial Project Team Conducts workshops using spoken tutorials Gives certificates to those who pass an online test For more details, please write to us at contact@spoken-tutorial.org
