Main ContribExamples/TurbulentBackstep
Valid versions: 
1 Short description
This turorial case analyzes turbulent backward-facing step flow. Also it compares CFD result with experimental result.
Preprocessing utility setDiscreteFields is required to run this tutorial. Also gnuplot is required for plotting the result.
2 Usage
1. Download the package file
2. Run this tutorial case
% ./Allrun
After the execution it would makes figures listed below.
- res.eps - Initial residual
- profileT.eps - Vertical profile of temperature
- profilek.eps - Vertical profile of turbulent kinetic energy
