CFD for Automotive Flows

3. Assignment 2

Compute the car model using refined meshes. Prepare a short report with your team following the instructions below.

Instructions

• Write an Introduction paragraph explaining the CFD for automotive industry and snappyHexMesh feature of OpenFOAM.
• Write a Methodology section to explain the initial, boundary and computational conditions of your problem. Explain how you refine the mesh clearly.
• Write a Results section to show your results. Try to generate a similar view of streamtraces and velocity distribution shown in the previous section for a coarse mesh. Compare your results with the results you obtained in the lecture using the given settings.
• Write a Contribution section to explain what the team members have done for this work.

Example report

If you have not already done, you can download downloadSharedFiles.sh to get an example LaTeX report to your ~/OpenFOAM/assignment02 directory. First check your local to see whether you have this folder (ls ~/OpenFOAM).

You can use this LaTeX format (+5 points) or (last time) you can use LibreOffice Writer (or alternatives) to write your report.

Please note that from the third assignment you will be required to use LaTeX.

If you do not know how to use LaTeX, please watch the video playlist below and follow the documentation of this video in this repository.
