The input case file buildingUniform can simulate flow around a cube for Re=100 with uniform inlet velocity of (1,0,0). The ASEE-introduction.pdf has the detail of how to install and run the case file and how to install and visualize the data file created using OpenFOAM.

Executing the case file:

To run the simulation, the following commands should be executed under the buildingUniform directory:

• Generate hexahedral multi-block mesh

$ blockMesh

• Run the simulation

$ icoFoam
