Oyster Tank Simulation Model

Model for simulation of an oyster depuration system (OpenFOAM-v2012)

Generate mesh

• Install gmsh http://gmsh.info
• run command
  gmsh -0 -3 -f msh2 -o oysterTank.msh oysterTank.geo

Convert gmsh to foam mesh

• run command
  gmshToFoam oysterTank.msh > log.gmshToFoam 2>&1 &

Edit file constant/polyMesh/boundary and set patch type to wall for bottom/top/left/right/front/back

Check mesh

• run command
  checkMesh > log.checkMesh 2>&1 &

Create inlet/outlet cell sets and porosity zone

• run command
  topoSet > log.topoSet 2>&1 &

Create inlet/outlet patches

• run command
  createPatch log.createPatch 2>&1 &

For serial run

• run commands
  source $WM_PROJECT_DIR/bin/tools/RunFunctions
restore0Dir
runApplication $(getApplication)

For parallel run

• Edit file system/decomposeParDict accordingly
• run commands
  source $WM_PROJECT_DIR/bin/tools/RunFunctions
restore0Dir
runApplication decomposePar
runParallel renumberMesh -overwrite
runParallel $(getApplication)
