Adaptive Mesh Refinement - Kármán Vortex Street ∇ OpenFOAM®

The OpenFOAM® in-house code for adaptive mesh refinement is used to refine/unrefine the base mesh based on a user-defined specification. Here, a passive scalar equation was additionally solved. The values of the scalar were used to control the adaptive mesh refinement library. Even though, the case looks nice and reasonable, the mesh refinement library can only handle 3D refinements. Therefore, this case is a pseudo 2D case. Nevertheless, nowadays, there are further library extensions available which can handle pure 2D refinements. The case is available on . Feel free to make some comments and watch my website. Keep foaming, Tobias
