Request for Assistance: OpenFOAM CFD Simulation for Baffled Channel
Hello,
I am requesting your assistance to complete a steady-state CFD simulation using OpenFOAM.
**Project Goal:**
The objective is to simulate water flow through a channel containing three straight baffles and generate a streamline visualization of the flow field.
**Current Status:**
I have prepared a complete, ready-to-run OpenFOAM case folder. The case setup is complete, but due to technical environment limitations, the meshing and solving steps could not be executed on my end.
**The attached ZIP file (`openfoam_baffle_cfd.zip`) contains the following:**
* **Geometry:** `constant/triSurface/baffles.stl`
* **Solver:** `simpleFoam` (incompressible, steady-state)
* **Turbulence Model:** `kEpsilon`
* **Boundary Conditions:** Inlet velocity of `0.01 m/s` (in Y-direction), zero pressure at the outlet, and no-slip walls.
* **Meshing Setup:** Complete configuration files for `blockMesh` and `snappyHexMesh`.
* **Automation:** An `Allrun` script to automate the entire process.
* **Instructions:** A `README.md` file with detailed steps for execution and post-processing in ParaView.
**Required Steps to Complete the Task:**
1. **Unzip** the attached `openfoam_baffle_cfd.zip` file.
2. **Source** the local OpenFOAM environment (`source /path/to/OpenFOAM/etc/bashrc`).
3. **Execute** the automation script from the case directory:
```bash
chmod +x Allrun
./Allrun
```
4. **Post-process** the final time step (`1000`) in ParaView to generate the requested streamline visualization, coloring the streamlines by velocity magnitude.
5. **Deliverable:** The final output should be the **entire case folder** after the simulation is complete, including the final time step results, and the generated streamline image.
Please let me know if you require any further information.
Thank you for your help.
