This Git repository serves as a OpenFOAM example demonstrating the import of grid data from pyHyp for wind turbine simulation purposes. The repository showcases a user-friendly bash script that efficiently converts a pyHyp grid, specifically designed for an airfoil, into a fully structured wind turbine computational domain with a rotating region.
- initial grid generated in pyHyp
The output grid format is in .cgns, which can be converted into an OpenFOAM polyMesh using the method available at this GitHub repository.
The remaining steps can be easily managed using the provided bash script Allrun for OpenFOAM-9. Here's a general outline of the process:
-
rotate and replicate grid region around airfoils
-
create srounding region with blockMesh/snappyHexMesh
-
run the simulation with pimpleFoam (previously aka:pimpleDyMFoam) (Click picture below to Watch)
