UNH-RVAT 2-D OpenFOAM case

DOI

OpenFOAM (3.0.1) case files for a 2D RANS simulation of the UNH-RVAT cross-flow turbine in a towing tank. The simulation uses the pimpleDyMFoam solver and the kOmegaSST turbulence model.

Video

A video of the vorticity contours produced by this simulation (commit 5aee960afcda71cc3398a6f417780fd3d5e978ba, OpenFOAM version 2.2.2) can be found here: http://youtu.be/AQ4EztjPEFk
