NACA foil OpenFOAM

A Calkit project that simulates NACA airfoils with OpenFOAM in a Docker container.

Usage

To download all of the cases and their results, execute:

calkit pull

To run all cases and aggregate the results, execute:

calkit run

To run a single case, execute:

calkit xenv -n foam -- python run.py {profile} {angle_of_attack}

For example, to simulate the flow around a NACA 0012 at 8 degrees angle of attack, run:

calkit xenv -n foam -- python run.py 0012 8

To start an interactive OpenFOAM shell, run:

calkit xenv -n foam bash
