00:00.320 --> 00:01.370
Hello everyone!

00:01.370 --> 00:05.120
Welcome to the CFD using Openfoam Beginner to Intermediate course.

00:05.120 --> 00:08.720
In this video we will be looking through the course content.

00:08.870 --> 00:14.510
I have split the entire course into ten separate sections and we will see what will be covered in each

00:14.510 --> 00:15.200
section.

00:15.650 --> 00:21.530
So in the class one we will be seeing some introduction to openfoam, how to install it and how to set

00:21.530 --> 00:23.240
up the software.

00:23.600 --> 00:31.070
And we will also be seeing some basic file structure on how Openfoam is built and basic commands, which

00:31.070 --> 00:34.730
will be useful in running Openfoam simulations.

00:34.760 --> 00:37.370
We will just see the basic commands in the first class.

00:37.370 --> 00:43.040
We will be learning more commands as the course progresses, but these basic commands will be essential

00:43.040 --> 00:44.120
to get started.

00:44.990 --> 00:45.530
The class two.

00:45.530 --> 00:51.140
We will be seeing how to prepare a geometry and generate mesh with a tool called Block Mesh.

00:51.140 --> 00:57.390
We will be seeing how to set up the boundary and initial condition for a case in Openfoam.

00:57.660 --> 01:02.790
We will also look through some solvers and how to run simulation using Openfoam.

01:03.060 --> 01:08.130
After running the simulation, we will be using a tool called Paraview to post-process the results.

01:08.520 --> 01:15.420
In the class three, we will be doing snappy x mesh, so we'll be using block mesh as a dependent tool

01:15.420 --> 01:16.770
for snappy x mesh.

01:17.610 --> 01:22.830
We will get introduced to snappy hex mesh and we will be creating complex meshes using it.

01:22.860 --> 01:28.800
We will also learn how to use the check mesh command to check quality of the meshes in the class.

01:28.800 --> 01:33.570
For we will get introduced to incompressible, compressible and multiphase solvers.

01:33.570 --> 01:39.030
So we will go through the basics of everything and uh, look at some examples.

01:39.480 --> 01:43.530
After looking at that we will be running a lid driven cavity case.

01:43.530 --> 01:49.270
This will be a hands on tutorial, and we will also introduce to the case study of lid driven cavity.

01:50.020 --> 01:56.650
In the section five, we will be seeing the types of boundary condition and how to implement them in

01:56.650 --> 01:57.490
Openfoam.

01:57.490 --> 02:00.970
How to do a turbulence modeling in Openfoam.

02:00.970 --> 02:03.370
And we will get the introduction of it.

02:03.370 --> 02:08.320
And after that we will be setting up and running our own Rans simulation, which is Reynolds averaged

02:08.320 --> 02:09.700
Navier-Stokes simulation.

02:10.240 --> 02:17.080
We will be looking at how K-epsilon, uh, turbulence model is made, how K-omega SST model is made,

02:17.080 --> 02:18.820
or how to run a simple laminar case.

02:18.820 --> 02:20.650
So we will be seeing all those.

02:21.490 --> 02:26.950
Then in the class six we will be running some transient solvers simulation.

02:26.950 --> 02:30.010
We would have run transient cases even before that.

02:30.010 --> 02:32.320
Even the lid driven cavity is a transient case.

02:32.320 --> 02:39.440
But still we will be running a more in-depth analysis analyzed cases for transient solvers.

02:39.440 --> 02:41.690
We will set up from scratch, and we will run it.

02:42.140 --> 02:46.730
And we will also look at how to decompose any case and run it in parallel.

02:46.730 --> 02:48.830
So the simulation runs faster.

02:48.830 --> 02:52.340
So Openfoam comes with the installation of MPI.

02:52.340 --> 02:55.430
So we will be using MPI to do the parallel processing.

02:56.360 --> 03:03.050
We will also look at how to make a mesh using snap mesh, but in parallel.

03:03.860 --> 03:10.130
In the class seven we will get introduced to refinement box in snap x mesh, which will be a slightly

03:10.130 --> 03:17.060
advanced feature where we can define, uh, a area locally in snap hex mesh.

03:17.240 --> 03:23.920
And we will also get, uh, two hands on tutorials, one on external aerodynamics for the classic Openfoam

03:23.920 --> 03:24.970
motorbike case.

03:25.300 --> 03:34.810
And we will be doing plotting of force coefficients using Gnuplot and other is exporting the Post-processed

03:34.840 --> 03:38.530
data to Excel and how to plot from Excel.

03:39.310 --> 03:44.440
In the class eight we will be importing Ansys workbench mesh as well as Ansys Fluent Mesh.

03:44.440 --> 03:45.760
So both are different.

03:45.760 --> 03:53.010
We will be importing both and we will use the workbench mesh to run one of the simulation for flow over

03:53.010 --> 03:56.760
a cylinder, and we will do a hands on tutorial on that.

03:57.810 --> 04:02.700
For the class nine, we will be seeing how to set up an automation file called All Run and All Clean

04:02.700 --> 04:03.180
file.

04:03.180 --> 04:10.620
All run file will enable the user to run the simulation, uh, with series of commands without doing

04:10.620 --> 04:11.190
it manually.

04:11.190 --> 04:12.670
We can set up the alternate file.

04:12.670 --> 04:17.080
If you want to change any boundary condition or initial condition, you can change that.

04:17.080 --> 04:19.810
And you don't have to run each and every command one by one.

04:19.810 --> 04:26.410
You can just initiate the, uh, automation alternate file and it will run it in series.

04:26.410 --> 04:30.640
And, uh, it can do series in the sense it will do step by step.

04:30.640 --> 04:32.530
It can also do parallel processing.

04:32.830 --> 04:36.460
Then the all clean file will be used to clean the case just in case.

04:36.460 --> 04:41.800
If you want to run this case from scratch again, but you don't want to delete every time step every

04:41.800 --> 04:48.910
mesh generated manually, you can use the all clean file and clean the case, get it back to the default

04:48.910 --> 04:51.160
setup and you can run from scratch.

04:51.970 --> 04:56.890
In the class ten we will get introduced to a multiphase flow simulation.

04:56.890 --> 05:03.290
This will be a basic introduction and some modeling approaches and practical consideration using Openfoam

05:03.290 --> 05:06.020
like setting up any multiphase case using Openfoam.

05:06.170 --> 05:11.990
Then we will be having one hands on tutorial on the demonstration of dam breaks.

05:12.020 --> 05:18.800
Usually dam break case is two phase, but we will be doing four phase using multiphase Euler form in

05:18.800 --> 05:19.580
Openfoam.

05:19.580 --> 05:22.910
So this is all that we will be covering in this course.

05:22.940 --> 05:25.820
Looking forward to seeing you in the class.

05:26.000 --> 05:26.960
Thank you.
