OpenFOAM tutorial - getting started

This tutorial takes a look at the various standard files in an typical OpenFOAM simulation directory. The first tutorial in the user guide (lid driven cavity) is run as an example.

Boss, i just finished this tutorial thanks to you.

[@guijiesang477]

Great tutorial demo! Really helpful to researchers with zero experience on OpenFOAM like me.

[@amalbr5234]

it is a really good explanation of cavity problem. I will recommend it to my friends. thanks

[@kadiregemenkuyucu1456]

You are awesome :) Thank you for this video i really appreciate it, i cannot open cavity tutorial in windows 10 but wtih your help i learn the commands and run the cavity tutorial now. You are a lifesaver

Hello, my constant folder doesn’t have a polymesh directory..please help.

[@idreeskhan1629]

thanks.i have a question if i change the blockMesh (i take (0 1 2 3) in the bottom and (4 5 6 7) in the top)combine them and make hex(0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7) just like in the user guide page U151.it gives me problem the tope wall which is moving wall is no longer top wall it changes.can you explain plz according to my knowledge we can take any two parallel surfaces with a spacific order (clockwise or anticlockwise) to make block.in this tutorial they are taking front and back faces to create block.my question why not bottom and top faces.

Hello! My constant folder doesn't have a polyMesh directory. When I try to create the mesh using blockMesh, I receive an error message saying it can't find system/controlDict file. What did I do wrong? Thank you so much

[@MrMangkokoo]

either the controldict is missing or you ran it in wrong directory.

Hi sir for this video , actually i'm runing viscoelasticFluidFoam solver for Oldroyed-B model and mommentum equation my question is how i will adjust the dimensionless parameter like Reynolds,deborah,retardation ratio(beta) ,2. how i will take average of velocity if i have inlet,outlet,upper wall is moving condition.plz your help will be highly appreciated.

can any one help me to do naca0012 (2d) openFOAM simulation with snappyxesh mesh so with simple foam and c type domain can anyone tell me the steps ?or video

[@cartoonsindia4072]

hai, i am started to learn the openFOAM, I am following your videos and getting error while giving blockMesh command (Symbol Lockup error : libdecompositionmethods.so : undefined symbol :ZNK4Foam11regI0ObjectENS_.......like this). please solve my problem
