Davyd Perdomo's Research Logs and Meeting Notes

• Complete on my on-board tasks.
• Downloaded OpenFoam on Aircraft

• Running an example on OpenFoam
• Learning commands for Linux

• Ran OpenFOAM Docker image on Littlestorm. Following this procedure:

1)Edit your ~/.bashrc file and add the line: export XAUTHORITY=$HOME/.Xauthority

2)Start with “Step 5: Launching openfoam11-linux” at the following link https://openfoam.org/download/11-linux/ However, when you get to the last line that launches “openfoam11-linux” , you instead need to launch it like this: openfoam11-linux -p 510 -xhost ←-This will ensure that graphical programs get passed through and show up correctly when xforwarding. You may not need the extra flags if you are using a VNC session.

3)Once in the container, return to https://openfoam.org/download/11-linux/, and go to Step 6: Testing openfoam11-linux. This should ensure that everything is set correctly and afterward you should be ready to work with the program.

• Cloned Joe O'Brien's dissertation repository from https://github.com/jrobrien91/dissertation

• Davyd - Send email Invite for next Wednesday at 3 pm CT.
• Davyd/David - Should clone the Joe repository, https://github.com/jrobrien91
• Davyd - Try to run some example OpenFOAM / Tutorials.

• File permission error.
• Got docker to run.
• Emailed Joe about clone his repository.

Tasks

• Davyd - See about getting openFOAM working on Littlestorm.

• VPN was blocking connection to Little storm.
• New problem - Lock screen on Littlestorm, just locked. Emailed Derek.
• Joe sent link, after making public. Worked on getting clone of the repository.
• ParaView, (or PyVista (Joe used)), We should start with PyVista.

• Monday July 8, 8 am CT, zoom. Send me invite.

Tasks

• Add to Wiki page the Joe github repository cloning.
• Add to Wiki information from Joe about getting OpenFOAM running on a workstation.

• Talked with Joe O'Brien. Got data collection document done. Upload data to One Drive
• Five figure. Have title, Joe further ahead.
• Filters from CapeEx19. August/September. Look for the August 3 case.
• Hopefully, in a week or so, you can download the data collection.
• Tried to run in OpenFOAM, version 11. Were running OpenFOAM version 8. Getting error.
