Magnus Effect Simulation in OpenFOAM

Forked from openfoamtutorials/openfoam_tutorials

Description

Here we will simulate the Magnus effect on a spinning cylinder in freestream in a 2D simulation in OpenFOAM. The mesh will be hybrid structured-unstructured and generated in Gmsh. The flowfield will be inspected.

Outline

-Gmsh mesh overview.

-Mesh generation and conversion to OpenFOAM.

-Simulation using pimpleFoam.

-Inspect flow field.
