A tesla valve is a passive system with no moving parts designed to impede flow in one direction while allowing it to pass undisturbed in the other. The animations are as follows: 1) passive scalar transport (s) for flow in each direction 2) passive scalar transport (s) and velocity field (U) for un-impeded flow 3) passive scalar transport (s) and velocity field (U) for impeded flow Files and Instructions: https://github.com/Interfluo/OpenFOAM-pisoFoam-LES-TeslaValve-2/tree/main/refined Enjoy! ------------------------------------------------------ Disclaimer ------------------------------------------------------------- LES is not an appropriate solver for 2D geometries; the main purpose here was the visualization of the self impeding flow, if I was trying to

Most of the so-called tutorials I found simply taught users how to run a pre-loaded case, this basically amounted to typing in a meshing command followed by an execute calculation command. In this video I hope to provide users with enough information that they feel comfortable running their own custom simulation. One step I left out was creating the initial project folder; to do this simply copy a tutorial example that closely resembles what you want to do. If I left anything else out or was too vague, leave it in the comments and I will do my best to help. starting project folder: https://github.com/Interfluo/OpenFOAM-LES-tutorial-1.git
