Getting started

Create a project directory within the $HOME/OpenFOAM directory named <USER>-<OpenFOAM-VERSION-YOU-USE> (e.g. chris-2.3.1 for user chris and OpenFOAM version 2.2.2) and create a directory named run within it, e.g. by typing 

mkdir -p "${FOAM_RUN}"

Copy the tutorial examples directory in the OpenFOAM distribution to the run directory. If the OpenFOAM environment variables are set correctly, then the following command will be correct: 

cp -r "${FOAM_TUTORIALS}" "${FOAM_RUN}"

Run the first example case of incompressible laminar flow in a cavity: 

cd "${FOAM_RUN}/tutorials/incompressible/icoFoam/cavity"
blockMesh
icoFoam
