Aim of this manual

The aim of this manual is to explain those steps and components, which are not directly obvious from tutorials and source code. All the tutorial cases are already pre-set and can be run immediately.

The expected level of OpenFOAM knowledge is at least user knowledge (User OpenFOAM training participation or approximately equal level https://www.cfdsupport.com/openfoam-training.html).

Although this manual shows the complete path how to set the cases from the beginning, it is written with effort to serve as a part of the individual training on this methodology.

ParaView

ParaView is an open source multiple-platform application for interactive, scientific visualization. It has a client–server architecture to facilitate remote visualization of datasets, and generates level of detail (LOD) models to maintain interactive frame rates for large datasets. It is an application built on top of the Visualization Tool Kit (VTK) libraries. Where VTK is a set of libraries that provide visualization services for data, task, and pipeline parallelism, ParaView is an application designed for data parallelism on shared-memory or distributed-memory multicomputers and clusters. It can also be run as a single-computer application.

ParaView offers the possibility to extend its functionality in several directions. This encompasses modifications to the GUI and implementation of new plugins.
