Updated February 8, 2012 at 17:41 by wyldckat
This blog post will try to detail and complement the OpenFOAM 2.0.1 building process on old machines, where my test case was with two Ubuntu 8.04 - one i686 and one x86_64 - in two separate virtual machines with 1.6GiB of RAM and 4 processors each.

This post will detail a lot more information than the official instructions, specially because the official instructions are meant for Linux OSes that are modern'ish, such as Ubuntu 10.04 and above.

NOTE: 2011-02-08 - finally...

Best Mesh Generation Software

Posted December 1, 2012 at 07:59 by Far
Rule of thumb:

1. Use the mesh generator which is being used by your friends who are available to help you out.

2.Best sotware in market is ICEM (Hexa), but it is difficult to learn and takes alot time in mastering. Its tetra + prism version is very efficient and easy to use.

3. Ansys meshing is new technology and very easy to use.

4. Gambit is very easy to learn and its tetra with boundary layer (in 3d implementing boundary layer often...

Getting ANSYS 14 Fluent, Windows 8.1 and VS2013 to compile UDFs

Posted October 27, 2013 at 18:00 by trollreign
1. Goal

I am a beginner at Fluent, and even more so concerning UDF's. I am facing a problem where I have to use a velocity profile at my inlet boundary and later I would like to write code to model an actuator disk. After reading the corresponding sections of the Fluent 14 UDF Manual I felt like I am ready to face the task.

Things didn't go half as smooth as I expected and in the end I spent a weekend getting it to work.

All about the PIMPLE algorithm - Part II

Posted October 21, 2014 at 18:55 by Tobi
Updated January 18, 2018 at 03:18 by Tobi (Removed content, updated content on wiki and book)
The Pimple Algorithm (21.08.2017)

In this blog I showed (since 2014) a few things about the pimple algorithm and how things are working in OpenFOAM. However, based on the fact that the explanation of the algorithm is given in my book, I removed the content here. The old revised one is still available at the wiki page. Links can be found below.
