I don't know if you can figure that with OpenFOAM. You, the user, have to supply the rotation parameters for the simulation mesh - it will not start rotating on its own. If you provide wind-speed...

I have not used mixerGgiFvMesh so I cannot advise you there. I am using the latest OpenFOAM 2.2.x from GitHub in Linux. I believe GGI (general grid interface) has been replaced by AMI (arbitrary mesh...

pimpleDyMFoam crashing!

After a fair amount of work, and repurposing the tutorial incompressible/pimpleDyMFoam/propeller, I was successfully able to make a 2D mesh with my VAWT model.
However, when I try to run...

Thumbs up Can you explain GGI in a relatively simple manner?

That is ... awesome. :D

Thank you very much...

Hey all.
I've recently begun using CAELinux, and I've discovered OpenFOAM as a result.
I want to do a small, relatively simple study of a vertical-axis wind turbine. At least (like a lot of...
