[wind_tunnel_contraction]

Dear all,

Currently I am working on an external flow project in OpenFOAM. I'm now working on time-dependent simulations (pimpleFoam) with a high cell count (~10Million cells). This generates a lot of data. I already set the writecontrol such that it only writes the field data every N timestep. However, still too much data is generated for my C drive to save all timesteps.

For this, I want to redirect the data to an external hard disk during runtime while still being able to post-process this data and not always needing to copy the particular timesteps to the C drive.

I am working with openfoam on windows 10 (Ubuntu, windows WSL).

You know of any solutions for this? I'm sure there are ways for these kind of problems but cannot figure it out by just use google.

Many thanks!

Martijn
