Hello!
I'm currently doing a comparison between OpenFOAM and Fluent by running a case of an incompressible, newtonian and laminar flow of an aneurysm. However they give me different results, and it looks like OF is giving me wrong results. You can see in the attachments below that OF one looks like its just a straight pipe.


Both solutions used the same mesh (Created in OF using snappyHexMesh and later converted do fluent with foamMeshToFluent) and both are set to laminar flow.


Below i've attached the case files.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Hello,

Are you sure about BCs you have used in both solver?
