PitzDaily
From OpenFOAMWiki
1 Description
Based on the experimental work of Pitz and Daily (1981). It features a backward facing step. Such a ``classic`` case is instructive for comparing different turbulence models with respect to the size and shape of the recirculation zone.
2 Step-by-Step Instruction
- Navigate to the tutorial directory (should be something like "OpenFOAM/username-2.1.1/run/tutorials/incompressible/simpleFoam/pitzDaily").
- Next generate the mesh by typing at the terminal "blockMesh".
- The case can be now run by typing "simpleFoam". However you can also use something like "simpleFoam >log" so the output can be stored in the log file for posterity. Can also use foamJob (see Monitoring and managing jobs).
- To post-process the case, simply type "paraFoam" at the prompt.
