Aerodynamics testing in OpenFoam
Hey everyone,
I'm currently working on a car concept (side hobby project). With this specific concept I was hoping to explore the use of a large boat tail for improved aerodynamics. However with the boat tail I am exploring a number of alternate design variations that I have no idea on the aerodynamic properties. (one less odd variation attached)
To test my design I was hoping to use OpenFoam. I have the .stl files ready, it is just a matter of placing it in the OpenFoam simulation of a windtunnel for results (preferably a diagram of the airflow and pressure that I can view in Blender).
Would anyone have any suggestions on what documentation i can follow (or what preset that I can download)?
Any information would be appreciated.
Regards,
Daniel
