laminar separation bubble
Has anyone tried to visualize laminar separation bubble through openFoam? If so then which solver did u choose? I am trying to visualize separation bubble for Re=300 on a slit cylinder and as per literature i should see a laminar separation bubble... but i am not able to see... could anyone help? regards
OpenFOAM


Hey Subhankar, Could you give the details of what solver and turbulence model you were using?

If you mean the Laminar Separation bubble which occurs due to the separation of the flow due to transition and then followed by the reattachment is essentially a property of the turbulence at the wall. Therefore, to the extent of my knowledge icoFoam cannot capture the Laminar Separation Bubble.
