Guided industry project
Flow over a 2D Backward Facing Step
In this project, you will simulate a laminar flow over a backward facing step- one of the benchmark CFD problems. You will be solving the complete Navier-Stokes equation for a 2D laminar viscous flow in OpenFOAM. This project will help you learn how OpenFOAM works and how you can make an effective use of it to solve real-time CFD problems.

- Bachelors in Mechanical, Aerospace, Automotive, Material & Civil Engineers with basic understanding of Fluid Dynamics, Mathematics and Programming.
What will you do in this project?
In this project, you will simulate an laminar viscous flow over a backward facing step using the the in-compressible transient-state solver called icoFoam. You will work on the Linux command line interface to run OpenFOAM simulations. You will specify the geometry, mesh information, and initial and boundary conditions inside the respective C++ files. You will then create the mesh and run the simulations by typing commands in the terminal window. The simulation results will be viewed and post-processed using Paraview. You will run the simulations for multiple values of Grading Factor and validate the results.Benefits of this Project
