Updated 32 Tutorials for OpenFOAM® 5.x and new Screencast

Hi all,

I just wanted to inform you that I updated my 32 tutorials which can be found on my website Holzmann CFD today in order to work with the latest OpenFOAM Foundation 5.x.

All files are consistently updated (e.g. header, run files)
I removed all groovyBC and replaced them using the codedFixedValue (however I kept the groovy code for references)
Small typos corrected and to be consistent with FOAM (e.g. 0.org -> 0.orig)
Fixed some cases which were not running (even in old versions)
Changed all code snippets which were outdated (e.g. patchAverage -> postProcess etc.)

Additionally I want to announce a new screencast series #7 about 'How to calculate the drag coefficient of Suzanne' which will be published after 21st November 2017. The introduction video can be seen here: http://www.holzmann-cfd.de/index.php/en/7-suzanne

The series #7 is based on Jozsef's invented Community Christmas Competition.

All the best to you,
Tobi

Hello Mr. Holtzmann,

I am working on OpenFoam version 4.1, now I am blocked on how to put logarithmic profile of velocity in inlet boundary conditions, I tried to use groovyBC but I have errors:

--> FOAM Warning :
From function groovyBCFvPatchField<Type>::groovyBCFvPatchField(c onst fvPatch& p,const DimensionedField<Type, volMesh>& iF,const dictionary& dict)
in file groovyBCFvPatchField.C at line 131
No value defined for U on inlet therefore using the internal field next to the patch

I installed swak4foam and groovy and I added in controlDict the libs commands.

Any help will be thankful, thanks in advance
