CFD for Automotive Flows

This tutorial guides you through the process of simulating a 2D flow over a car model using OpenFOAM, including preparation of the CAD model, mesh generation, solver setup, and post-processing. We'll use tools such as ParaView for CAD preparation and OpenFOAM utilities like blockMesh and snappyHexMesh for meshing.

• Lecture 3.1: CAD and snappyHexMesh

  • You will learn how
    • to prepare CAD for OpenFOAM using ParaView,
    • to generate blockMesh on the CAD, and
    • to generate snappyHexMesh on the model.

• Lecture 3.2: simpleFoam and Conditions in Automotive Flows

  • You will learn how to
    • set boundary conditions in automotive flows,
    • set simpleFoam solver,
    • run a parallel computations, and,
    • make post-processing.

• Lecture 3.3: Assignment 2

  • You will be given your second assignment.
