[snappyHexMesh] snappyHexMesh for fixed bed reactors

LakshmiIC35134 · March 8, 2022, 01:23

Hi everyone,

I am currently working on modeling a packed bed reactor for non-particulate systems. I want to get familiarized on how to use OpenFOAM for meshing a packed bed geometry. I created my bed using blender 3D software and I shall export the geometry in the .stl format. I would like to use snappyHexMesh in OpenFoam. Kindly help me if you know.

Welcome to the forum,
it is not really clear what you want us to help you with. If you are looking for a guide on how to learn snappyHexMesh, I recommend going through the tutorials that are shipped with OF. Also this presentation gives a good overview of the settings and how snappy works: https://openfoamwiki.net/images/f/f0...SlidesOFW7.pdf
Good luck!
