Seeking Guidance on Atmospheric Boundary Layer Simulation in OpenFOAM

novanekim · July 21, 2023, 06:38

Hello, I'm new to OpenFOAM and am currently working on an Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL) simulation using the k-epsilon turbulence model. My project involves a bluff body resembling a house with two windows, and I'm primarily interested in understanding velocity and pressure parameters in this setup. One of my main tasks is to replicate real-world airflow conditions through ABL. However, I'm finding it challenging to locate resources or tutorials that specifically focus on implementing ABL in simulations. Could anyone provide tips or direct me to helpful resources for setting up similar simulations in OpenFOAM? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

You have seen the atmBoundaryLayer class, I presume (https://cpp.openfoam.org/v8/classFoa...html#details)? Google for atmBoundaryLayer and you should find a bunch of info. There's even a tutorial example in simpleFoam/turbineSiting.
