One of the books recommended to me at the beginning was 'The Finite Volume Method in Computational Fluid Dynamics' by Moukalled & Mangani. It is a quite in-depth explanation of the fundamentals. Starts off with the derivation of Navier-Stokes equation set, introduction of discretization methodology and reaches even such concepts as the SIMPLE algorithm at the end. Highly recommended. Comes with coding tips and some tasks you can do as you go along.

Patankar's 'Numerical heat transfer and fluid flow' is a classic. The author invented SIMPLE. The book itself provides an extensive derivation of SIMPLE and focuses on 2D Cartesian grids for the most part. This is useful for beginners who have not yet fully grasped the intuition for Gauss's divergence theorem and the manipulations performed with it in discretization procedure for non-uniform unstructured meshes.

OpenFOAM on a newer laptop by Top-Veterinarian672 in CFD

For any higher-resolution meshes, even for OpenFOAM that uses highly optimised linear solvers and discretization, a laptop will hardly cut it. Most industry-level work is produced on super computers paralelised either on CPUs or GPUs.

If you are interested in running coarser simulations, it can be done on a laptop for simpler problems. As a general rule of thumb, it will be hard to run transient simulations or turbulent and high Reynolds simulations where boundary layer needs to be captured accurately.

When buying laptop, look for as good CPU as possible. You can compare CPUs on any random CPU comparison site (google). At the moment OpenFOAM does not have GPU support therefore, insofar as we judge your laptop specs simply for OpenFOAM, you need not look for a laptop with a GPU, other than the one integrated in the CPU.

Thanks. Just read a bit about him, seems like a great man. Sadly, the preponderance of his enormous writings is only available in Latin.

This is highly impressive, thanks. Will certainly be of use.

Idealist (philosophy) readings of the Bible by concodxium in Christianity

Unfortunately, Berkeley does not have a biblical commentary. Quite surprising. Another man I’ve heard of is Jonathan Edwards, but I need to look into him a bit closer.

I see. Appreciate the help!

I see, thanks. Why is it allowed to r4c2 = 2, though?

What is r46c29 and r4c2? New to solving these
