Xwang is on a distinguished road
Hi, I've a new laptop with an Intel P8400 centrino 2 duo cpu (dual core), 4gb of ram and 250 gb hdd. I work in an aerospace company and we use MGAERO on a pc similar to my laptop which is able to run a steady state simulation of flow around an airplane in some hours. Is it possible to run a similar test case with openFOAM on my laptop? Eventually, is it possible to limit open Foam to only 1 core and 3gb of ram so that I can use the laptop to navigate while it computes? Initially, I would like to run some test with a simple naca0012 rectangular wing to compare the results obtained with openFoam to the ones obtained from MGAERO. Thank you, Xwang
