Description
------------
RANS Channel flow solver for OpenFOAM, with mass flow rate based pressure gradient correction.
User can define mass flow rate through a bulk velocity "Ubar" in the constant/transportProperties file.
channelRANS can also work with a LES solver, but this had already been achieved in channelFoam.
Note: This code has NOT been rigorously tested for simulation statistics yet, but the trial runs have been good.
Target platform
---------------
The code is known to work with OpenFOAM 2.1.x. on Linux Platforms.
For OpenFOAM cross compilation on Windows, check the unofficial release by blueCAPE CFD.
Instructions
------------
1. Download the source code using git:
git clone git://github.com/ArvindCFD/channelRANS.git
2. Copy the directory in your OpenFOAM/applications/solvers/incompressible directory.
3. Enter the directory where the source code has been extracted, and compile
it by typing: wmake
4. Specify "Ubar" in transportProperties file (refer to the example file)
5. All other settings are similar to channel395 LES tutorial. Just choose RANS model.
