OpenFOAM Assistant-OpenFOAM CFD Guidance

Example

Guiding through the setup of a multiphase flow simulation involving water and oil in a pipeline. This includes advising on appropriate discretization schemes, turbulence models, and solver settings.

Scenario

A user planning to optimize oil extraction processes would benefit from this guidance to ensure accurate prediction of phase separation and flow characteristics.

Example

Assisting in the development of a custom solver that integrates chemical reactions into a combustion simulation. This involves modifying source code to include new reaction models and validating these changes.

Scenario

Researchers studying advanced combustion techniques can utilize this feature to extend OpenFOAM capabilities, tailoring the solver to their specific experimental setups.

Example

Offering strategies to enhance the computational efficiency of simulations, such as adjusting solver settings, refining meshes in critical areas, and parallel computing configurations.

Scenario

Engineering firms conducting large-scale simulations, such as aerodynamic testing for vehicles, can achieve faster turnaround times and reduced computational costs.

Example

Diagnosing and resolving issues such as divergence, instability in numerical schemes, or errors in boundary condition implementations.

Scenario

Students and new users often encounter such problems and would greatly benefit from step-by-step guidance to understand and fix these issues effectively.
