Dear CFD Online community,
I'm investating the usability of OpenFOAM for calculations on CT-scanned samples, and I'm new to this software package. The samples are usually voxel images, of a size that can reach 10^9 cells (about 1000^3). The resulting amount of data is pretty big already (about a GB) and I'm afraid turning this into an OpenFOAM mesh might be a bit of a data inflation nightmare, even if I use very simple, cube-based structured meshes. What is your opinion about this?
VL
