Fun with OpenFOAM and turbulence models

Creation of these movies was a part of sudden teaching assistance duties. In the beginning the idea was to just reproduce Kármán vortex street. And then it evolved to the comparison of vortex street simulation results with different turbulence models. Case files for the LES simulations can be found at https://bitbucket.org/mrklein/openfoam-ravings.

Channels and meshes

We have simple straight channel with two bodies of different shape put inside the channels. Simple schemes of the channels are shown on the figures below.
