Introduction

The motorBike case is part of the tutorials that come with OpenFOAM 1.6 and above. The version of the case used for these run times is from the OpenFOAM 1.6.x git version. These timing results are to be compared with the previous timings made here.

blueCFD 1.7-1 is now available. Please visit the product page for more information on how to acquire this product/service.

blueCFD is a service package of a high quality cross-compiled build version of OpenFOAM(R) for Windows XP, Vista and Seven (32 and 64bit), with some additional tweaks, executables and scripts, in order to maintain usability under a Windows environment. It provides a near Linux experience through MSys. It also includes the official Paraview 3.8.0, in 32 and 64bit versions. The vtkPOpenFOAMReader is the plug-in used in Paraview, for reading OpenFOAM simulation files, because it offers better support for large files and multi-platform. MPICH2 is used for running OpenFOAM with a multi-core and multi-machine environment. Paraview uses MS-MPI for parallel processing, but it can also read multi-processor runs with a single core. Discretizer has been added to the blueCFD package, to provide a GUI meshing utility and can also work as a GUI for using OpenFOAM.

This page reflects the tutorials and applications tested by blueCAPE and from reports made by users of blueCFD 1.6 and 1.7.

Due to the complex nature of the tables we are using, we are now providing the list in PDF format only, available here.

Warning: the tutorials deemed OK there might not have been fully tested nor compared with the results given by the Linux versions.
