OpenFOAM Tutorials - Oldies but goodies
Hereafter you will find a few tutorials (oldies but goodies), to help you discover OpenFOAM. In each tutorial case, you will find the file README.FIRST with the instructions on how to run the case. You will need to install pyfoam and swak4foam to use some extended functionalities.

VORTEX SHEDDING (using OpenFOAM 2.3.0) The widely studied 2D cylinder immersed in a uniform flow at various Reynolds numbers. Takeaways: in this tutorial we use the following solvers and utilities; icoFoam, blockMesh, pyFoamPlotRunner.py, pyFoamPlotWatcher.py, fluentMeshToFoam, potentialFoam, potentialFoam, mapFields, renumberMesh, refineMesh, pimpleFoam, pisoFoam, and yPlusRas. Attention: We added a few errors in case C7 (missing or wrong keywords). Try to make it run!
