1. Case Description

   1. Domain Size : 350m x 280m x 140m
   2. Boundary Condition
      1. inlet velocity : (10 0 0) m/s
   3. Geometry Reference from OpenFOAM Tutorial case windAroundBuildings

   

2. Select Project Path

   1. Set the desired project path.

3. Select mesh file

   1. Download mesh
   2. Select windaroundBuildings.msh

4. Please describe your case

   I want to wind flow around building

5. Please describe velocity and pressure conditions

   inlet velocity is (10 0 0). outlet total pressure is 0. frontAndBack is symmetry

6. Press the [Pressure, Velocity File Generate button] and wait until the p,U file is created.

   1. Sometimes not responding appears. It is waiting for the results from chatGPT, so please wait for a few minutes.
   2. When creation is complete, a pop-up will appear indicating that creation has been completed. Check whether the p,U file was created properly in the project folder/0 location.

   

7. Click [Check Boundary File Validity] to check the boundary file consistency.

8. Choose turbulence mode : kEpsilon

9. Edit Hydraulic Diameter

   1. inlet : 187
   2. outlet : 0
