Numerical Simulation of Laminar Flows and Turbulent Flows over Flat Plate Using OpenFOAM

It is well known that OpenFOAM has become a very popular tool for research work in different fields and especially, in computational fluid dynamics. But, it is also known its lack of detailed documentation supporting solvers made using the set of libraries given by OpenFOAM. In this way, it gets to be important to build up suitable confirmations that can be helpful to users. With this reason, executable solvers available in OpenFOAM 3.0.0 version to solve laminar flow and turbulent flow problems are tested. These problems as a basis for the development of numerical methods to solve more complex issues related to the change of basic parameters such as temperature, velocity, pressure, and density of flows. In this work, laminar flow and turbulent flow in a flat plate are simulated through the relationship between aero-dynamics parameters. The results indicate that the relationship between the aero-dynamics parameters depends heavily on the position and shape of a flat plate that flows go through. The physical mechanisms of these phenomena are analyzed, which can be a basis for predicting the structure of dynamic flows in real-world operation.
