Hi,

I am trying to model a flow around a cylinder 2D using simpleFoam.The Velocity is 3m/s and The turbulence model is k-epsilon Standard.
The dimension of the cylinder is 0.1 m diameter.

How could i set the Boundary Condition for Wall- Top and Bottom to get no Slip?

What about the Cylinder-Wall?

Please it ist very important for me and I would greatly appreciate it if you could send me an Answer or a case like that.

In the boundaryField section of your first U file you would have something like:

minY
{
type fixedValue;
value uniform (0 0 0);
}

where minY is what ever name you gave your sides and / or the cylinder-wall.

See the tutorials for more examples.

Thanks Hansel!
My Boundary Condition and so on look like:

I get this Error when i start the Simulation: Inconsistent Patch and patchField types for patch type symmetryPlane and patchField type symmety

When i change SymmetryPlane to slip or Wall , my solution is absurdity.

I need Help please!

[gocarts]

Judging by your error message I think you need to replace:

Sym_Wand
{
type symmetry;
}

with:

Sym_Wand
{
type symmetryPlane;
}

within your case/0/* field files.

[hansel]

I think the units on k are supposed to be [0 0 1 0 0 0 0]
and m [0 0 1 0 0 0 0]

[ronaldo]

It is the units on omega! The units on k is [0 2 -2 0 0 0 0 ]
