OpenFOAM First Simulation Tutorial: Backward Facing Step
In this video, I conduct a first simulation tutorial on Openfoam. I explain how the OpenFoam file system works to describe boundary conditions and simulation parameters, and go on to post process the results in Paraview.
00:00 - 00:32 - Intro
00:32 - 04:26 - Copying tutorial file
04:26 - 05:15 - Overview of OpenFOAM file system
05:15 - 10:35 - Inspecting mesh and boundaries
10:35 - 20:28 - Explaining the files (boundary conditions, solver settings)
20:28 - 21:33 - Running Simulation
21:33 - 35:52 - Postprocessing in Paraview
35:52 - 37:13 - Next steps
37:13 - Next videos, leave suggestions!
