How calculate a good initial solution for flow field and turbulence

ferdinando.forno · September 1, 2009, 05:06

Hi,
I'm finding a method to initialize a code based on OpenFOAM starting from potential solutions, correlations etc.
Can anyone help me?Do you know something about this?
Thanks.

Best Regards,
Ferdinando

Hello Ferdinando

I use pyFoam for running potentialFoam to get initial field.

It might help you...

And for the turbulent field?And for the boundary layer?Is not possible to use same correlation?

Thanks for all.
