[Other] mesh for submarine model

ljjouc · February 28, 2014, 21:11

Hi, everyone;

I am using OpenFOAM 2.2.2 to simulate a self-propulsion of DARPA Suboff model.

For this submarine model, I am not sure to construct it with SnappyHexMesh or Gmsh or

other mesh generators. Can anyone tell me which is the best choice?

P.S: the attachment is the skematic of DARPA Suboff model

Hey Kai Liang

Even I am new to OpenFOAM and from my limited knowledge I can tell you that you can use snappy, but you will have issues at the edges of your geometry. I faced the same issue, so what I did was, I used Salome to mesh and import it into OpenFOAM. Salome produces good meshes and you have a variety of options to play with. Try out Salome.

Hope I was of some help.

Hi, Rohan V.G.,

Thanks for your share. In the following link:

Linnemann has given me a salome script to construct the suboff. Maybe it is of use for you, too.
Wish you enjoy your life everyday
