Based on this course, I am trying to write some lecture notes on CFD
and related topics, a help is needed and much appreciated. To
help me, take a look at the lectures notes and let me know if you find
errors. Suggestions for better wording, figures or new material are
also welcome.
The lecture notes are far from being complete but they are a good
introduction to the finite volume method as it is implemented in
OpenFOAM.
Introduction
to Computational Fluid Dynamics:
Governing Equations, Turbulence Modeling Introduction and Finite Volume
Discretization Basics.
Some of the tutorials included in the
course material, consist in solving a model equation (laplace and
convection-diffusion equations), in the book
An Introduction to Computational
Fluid Dynamics: The Finite Volume Method (2nd Edition)
H. Versteeg, W. Malalasekera
you will find the analytical solution
and worked numerical solutions (using the FVM) of these tutorials (also
on the lectures notes, but I still need to finish them). So take
a look at this book (and the lectures notes), as we will solving
exactly the same examples using OpenFOAM.
Download here all the tutorials used
during this course. They are different from those that come with
OpenFOAM.
Attention, use them just for instructional/learning purposes and not
for validation or benchmarking.
THE 2012 TUTORIALS ARE BEING
