Hi guys,

I am a newbie at using openfoam and was recently requested to create a simulation of a flow over a cylinder with karman vortex behind the it and I have no idea how to begin. The geometry of the cylinder is shown below and the length of the no-slip wall on the top and bottom are both 15m. The height of the inlet and outlet are 5m. The inlet velocity of the fluid is 1m/s and the pressure at the outlet is 0 Pa. I would like to know how do I create the above geometry and which solver should I be using (potentialfoam or icofoam?). In addition what is the condition for karman vortex?
