hi every one I'm new to OpenFOAM and I need help!!

i want to model a numerical wave tank by flap type wave maker, does anyone have idea how I can find a tutorial about this simulation?

Hi Behsam,
every tutorial has a run script with all the steps necessary to pre-process, run (and sometimes postprocess) the cases.
Also, read the reference materials included for further reference.

Best,
Pablo
