[Openfoam Tutorial 4] Simulating the flow around a Motorbike with SnappyHexMesh

Let's Talk about Openfoam, motorBikes and SnappyHexMeshers !!

In this 4th tutorial, we will look into an amazing OpenFoam v8 Example, the flow around a MotorBike!
This tutorial is especially useful because it provides us some knowledge of how the SnappyHexMesh works in OpenFoam.

After showing you the motorBike Example, I will show you how to modify it to run this simulation with your own model!

What you will learn in this video:
00:00:00 Introduction
00:01:54 How to get and setup the motorBike example
00:05:07 How the SnappyHexMesh works
00:09:00 How to run the simulation with OpenFoam
00:15:55 How to post-process the results in ParaFoam
00:19:56 How to create a simple cylinder model in Salome
00:23:27 How to modify the example to simulate the flow around your cylinder
