I have only limited provision on my laptop and so I am a publishing only the usefulness of building a snappyHexMesh for a complex geometry. Hopefully when I get access to HPCs or work stations on my first job, I would consider offering a tutorial on the same. Please check some of the what I could achieve through the openFoam mesh tool. A380 mesh Figure No.1: Top View Figure No.2: Engine View Figure No.3: Flow Domain Figure No.4: Rear View Figure No.5: Side view   Figure No. 6: Frontal Area used for Drag Calculation   Figure No.7: The Mesh outline Figure No.8: Cell Extraction by Section A Chevrolet Camaro mesh I could not produce good simulation results as a result of reduced computational capability on my laptop. Regardless, here is the mesh and few results. I will share my insight into the snappyHexMesh in the next post. Figure No.9: Front view I had made use of the above front view to calculate the Project...
