Hi all
I am new in using openfoam and just installed the last version under Ubuntu (my first touch with linux...) I tried some of the test cases and now like to make a calculation of a hull in the water. To be sure to have all files in the right place and to have setup the software completly I would like to run a case which I can be sure of to be correct. Can someone give me a link to a samplecase for a hull incl mesh data for me to test my installation. Doesn't need to be complex just reliable (e.g. Wighley). Many Thanks! |

Greetings Ingenieur5 and welcome to the forum!
Have you studied the 3 tutorial cases from the User Guide? http://www.openfoam.org/docs/user/tutorials.php If not, start by studying them, starting from the page shown on the link above. As for a "wigley hull", have a look at the tutorial "multiphase/LTSInterFoam/wigleyHull". To run it: Code:
cd $FOAM_RUN cd tutorials/multiphase/LTSInterFoam/wigleyHull ./Allrun Bruno

Bruno, the link was corrupted: http://www.openfoam.org/docs/user/tutorials.php
Ingenieur5, for the commands of Bruno to work, you have to first copy (all) tutorials into your $FOAM_RUN directory (as described in the above link) |

Thanks for the info!
I found the tutorial and just started as described. How long does it take for the calculation usually? regards Sönke |
