Round 4
Completion requirements
Due: Thursday, 8 October 2020, 12:00 AM
The fourth reading circle focuses on the solution techniques for the actual flow equations. The tasks are the following
- Read chapters 9 and 10 of the course book.
- Go through the journal or conference papers that you collected for the previous rounds (feel free to update your collection) from the perspective of the overall solution algorithm
- Go through the documentation of the program (StarCCM+ or OpenFOAM) from the perspective of the overall solution algorithm
- In case of StarCCM+ a good starting point is section Theory > Numerical Flow Solution > Finite Volume Discretization in the user manual
- In case of OpenFOAM a good starting point is https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/OpenFOAM_guide/The_PIMPLE_algorithm_in_OpenFOAM
- Write notes on the reading focusing on the following
- How would you summarise the chapters?
- Which parts of the chapters were already familiar to you and from which context and which concepts and details were new?
- Which parts of the chapters did you find interesting and probably useful from the point of view of the project?
- Which parts of the chapters were you struggling with?
- Based on the material try to figure out, how the program is solving the equations in your case paying particular attention on the coupling of the pressure to the rest of the equations.
- Discuss the material with your reading circle group
- Submit the notes and the group memo (memo should be submitted only by the secretary) as pdf by the deadline.
