5 How to get the files

The OpenFOAM Timisoara Swirl Generator cases described in the following sections were developed as a case-study for the Fifth OpenFOAM Workshop, Gothenburg, 2010, and can be found at the OpenFOAM-extend SourceForge project. It includes complete OpenFOAM cases that solve the flow in the domain and automatic post-processing of the results. The block-structured hexahedral mesh was generated in ICEM CFD, in four parts, which are coupled using GGI interfaces. The cases were developed using OpenFOAM-1.5-dev. Instructions on how to run the cases follow below.

Get all the current case files by doing:

 
 cd $FOAM_RUN
 svn checkout http://openfoam-extend.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/openfoam-extend/trunk/Breeder_1.5/OSIG/TurboMachinery/timisoaraSwirlGenerator

In the descriptions below, we thus assume that the timisoaraSwirlGenerator directory is located in the $FOAM_RUN directory

Update your files every now and then by doing:

 
 cd $FOAM_RUN/timisoaraSwirlGenerator
 svn update
