Hi everyone,
We are looking to perform CFD calculations with OpenFoam of a large sea area (volume of around 1km x 1km x 200m) around a single offshore structure or ship (estimated size of around 100m – 200m, with small elements of around 0.3m).
The aim of the simulation is to extract turbulence data from both the far wake and very close to the structure using DDES of around 80 seconds.
We expect our cases to run in the range of 10 to 100 million cells, depending on the size of the structure. We think most cases will be at the lower end, so we want to size our hardware for it, but still be able to handle the larger ones even at the expense of much longer calculation times.
Thanks for your help! Any suggestions/questions are more than welcomed.
