This page contains user contributed input files for OpenFOAM calcultions. The purpose of this is to augment the tutorials that come with OpenFOAM.

1 Introductory Examples

• Simple 2D Laminar Flow Example
• How to create axisymetric case
• How to use the oscillatingFixedValue boundary condition
• Creating a 2D Mesh with snappyHexMesh

2 Verification cases

Cases that reproduce experimental results (used to gauge the quality of OpenFOAM-solvers).

• Benchmark of OpenFOAM solvers to analytical Blasius flat-plate flow solution

• AirConditionedRoom Tutorial case analyzing thermal flow in air-conditioned room

• TurbulentBackstep Tutorial case analyzing turbulent backward-facing step flow

• 441ShapeBuildingModel Benchmarking OpenFOAM to wind-tunnel measurements of flow past a 4:4:1 block

• HighRiseBuildingInCityBlocks Tutorial case analyzing wind environment around high-rise building in city blocks

• ActualUrbanAreaNiigata Tutorial case analyzing wind environment around simple building shape in actual urban area Niigata in Japan

• FourWayCassetteTypeAirConditioner Tutorial case analyzing flow in a room with a four-way cassette type air conditioner

• PISOvsTransientSimple Tutorial comparing a PISO- and a SIMPLE-based solver in transient incompressible CFD

2.1 Comparisons with other solvers

• Comparison with FLUENT for a backward-facing step
