This is a very simple OpenFOAM-3.0.1 utility for converting a 2D mesh to axisymmetric.
It is a modification of the flattenMesh utility distributed with OpenFOAM.
The supplied examples are a modification of the case that comes with the more elaborate utility makeAxialMesh.
One supplied example uses wedgePlease to convert a blockMesh to an OpenFOAM axialMesh.
The other example uses it to convert a fluentMesh.
The supplied examples deal with the associated mesh cleanup (collapse 0-length edges, remove 0-face patches) which is the same as in the case of makeAxialMesh.
See the official website openfoam.org, unofficial wiki openfoamwiki.net and the community forum cfd-online.com.
An OpenFOAM 3.0.1 installation is required to run the code. This code was run on Centos 6.6 (Rocks 6.2 Sidewinder).
Run Allwmake in the utility directory to compile it.
Run Allmesh in the caseBM or caseFM directory to convert the mesh. Then run paraFoam in the case directory to view the results.
- Assumes a 2D mesh in the XY plane.
- The Y axis becomes the axis of symmetry.
- The command
wedgePlease -angle 5reshapes the mesh points to form the wedge.
