Which solver…

…for a simple circular cylinder in air, 30 m/s, no moving walls or anything funny, just a simple incompressible solver…
I know it's quite a stupid question… Maybe pisoFoam? Thank you! |

Sorry if I insist... How comes nobody knows the answer? It's just one of the simplest flow you may find, such as the one around a car or the one in a wind tunnel...

Hi
Have a look at the link for a brief description of what the OF solvers are used for. Depending on if its laminar or turbulent, you are probably looking to use icoFoam or turbFoam. http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Main_OFSolvers |

Thank you Logan. It's probably turbulent so I'll use turbFoam.

simpleFoam is your guy (runs in steady-state both in laminar or turbulent cases)

simpleFoam is for non-Newtonian fluids… I want to test in air.
