Advanced Meshing Course - snappyHexMesh
This advanced course is aimed to those who want to make an effective use of blockMesh and snappyHexMesh to create high-quality meshes for industrial purposes. During this course, we also cover mesh quality assessment, mesh manipulation, mesh conversion and solution dependency on the mesh quality and size.
Topics to be covered:
Brief introduction to OpenFOAM® meshing technology
Understanding blockMesh and snappyHexMesh dictionaries
Mesh quality assessment
Mesh manipulation and conversion utilities
Understanding snappyHexMesh workflow
blockMesh blocking topologies
Meshing in parallel
Creating regions for dynamic meshes
Creating baffles
Adaptive mesh refinement
Setting boundary conditions and initial conditions
Boundary layer meshing and y+ estimation
Mesh dependency studies
As CFD optimization highly relies on parametrization of the geometry generation and meshing stages, this course is offered the day previous to the advanced optimization course. If you are interested in following the optimization training, we highly recommend you to follow this session.
