Overview
========
+ This is a template case with single inlet and outlet
+ Setup to run the simpleFoam solver
+ The case is designed to be meshed with snappyHexMesh
+ snappyHexMesh is setup to use a single trisurface file named CAD.obj
+ Copy the CAD.obj file to the constant/triSurface directory
+ The CAD.obj should contain an inlet and outlet region to create the relevant
patches in the mesh
Background Mesh
===============
+ The user should establish the bounds of their CAD.obj file
+ The blockMeshDict file contains a backgroundMesh subditionary
+ Set xMin, xMax, etc to be beyond the CAD.obj bounds
+ Set background mesh density with xCells, yCells, zCells
+ Run blockMesh
Background Mesh (alternative)
=============================
+ The user can adopt the background mesh patches in the mesh
+ For example, the background mesh can provide external patches of an external
flow
+ An alternative blockMeshDict file is set up for this: blockMeshDict.extPatches
+ Simply copy blockMeshDict.extPatches to blockMeshDict and edit inlet, outlet
patches accordingly
Castellated Mesh
================
+ In the snappyHexMeshDict file, replace <inletPatch> with the name of the inlet
region in the CAD.obj file
+ Replace <outletPatch> with the name of the outlet region
+ run snappyHexMesh to obtain a castellatedMesh
+ Review the mesh; modify refinement levels and regenerate the mesh as required
(levels are set in refinementSurfaces and refinementRegions)
Snapped Mesh
============
+ In snappyHexMeshDict, set castellatedMesh off; snap on;
+ Run the snapping phase of snappyHexMesh
+ Review the mesh
Layers
======
+ To add layers to the mesh along wall boundary patches...
+ Switch on addLayers; switch snap off;
+ Run snappyHexMesh
+ The number of layers can be changed by modifying nSurfaceLayers
Initialisation
==============
+ In the field files in the 0 directory, set inlet values
+ For example, in 0/U, set the inlet velocity Uinlet
+ Set the viscosity in constant/transportProperties
