1 Introduction
- Source code repository
- perturbU at GitHub
- Description
- These utilities were created by Eugene de Villiers and are related to his PhD Thesis "The Potential of Large Eddy Simulation for the Modeling of Wall Bounded Flows", available here: FOAM CFD: PhD Students, Theses and Research at FOAMCFD.org
- The repository perturbU at GitHub has been created by Bruno Santos (wyldckat) to assist in maintaining an easier way to keep updating the code to be usable with the latest OpenFOAM versions.
- Original sources for these utilities:
- perturbUChannel: LES - post #34
- perturbUCylinder: LES turbulent pipe flow - post #2
- perturbUGeneric: LES turbulent pipe flow - post #26
