In this 4th tutorial, we will look into an amazing OpenFoam v8 Example, the flow around a MotorBike!
This tutorial is especially useful because it provides us some knowledge of how the SnappyHexMesh works in OpenFoam.
After showing you the motorBike Example, I will show you how to modify it to run this simulation with your own model!
What you will learn in this video:
- How to get and setup the motorBike example
- How the SnappyHexMesh works
- How to run the simulation with OpenFoam
- How to post-process the results in ParaFoam
- How to create a simple cylinder model in Salome
- How to modify the example to simulate the flow around your cylinder
Openfoam is currently the leading free and open-source solver for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).

I read every comment I get and I try to answer the questions as best as I can also ;-)

where can I download the tutorial files? I couldn’t find it in the OpenFOAM tutorials.
