This is 2D unstructured mesher.

tri_mesh.f90 is a mesher and the rest are input files

Example 1: Cavity flow driven by upper cavity wall

file: cavity_bc.txt

Example 2: flow past NACA 0012 airfoil

files: NACA0012_bc.txt - airfoil
wt_bc.txt - wind tunnel
wake_bc.txt -wake

Description of the program is placed in the header of tri_mesh.f90

Friends,

I've been playing around a lot with the creation of cellZones and faceZones and here is what I have to report !

Till now I have found 3 ways to do it. ( I am sure there are more)

1. To use setSet utility and cellZonesSet and faceZoneSet commands.
This works amazingly well and creates the zones. A small problem can arrise if you are trying to set zones for an internal flow case and at the center of your geometry you have level 0 cells....

This is yet another one of my "rants on my blog" I do once in a while.

So today I was trying to reproduce this report: http://www.openfoam.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=590 - I was curious about this, because ICC is known for having great optimization on Intel processors (or at least it had in the past), as well as being completely free for non-commercial use on Linux.

The detail here is that I don't have an Intel CPU on my home computer. I've got an AMD 1055T x6 ...
