In this blog post, we dive into simulating the von Karman vortex street using OpenFOAM 11. This classic fluid dynamics phenomenon, characterized by swirling vortices, is replicated by placing a cylinder in a channel and analyzing the resulting drag and lift forces. With detailed steps, boundary conditions, and configuration files available for download, this post is a comprehensive guide for anyone looking to explore CFD simulations. Check out our accompanying video for a visual understanding of the velocity field around the cylinder.
