Kármán Vortex Street (Kármánsche Wirbelstraße) ∇ OpenFOAM®

The well-known vortex shedding phenomenon around a cylinder, if special conditions predominate. This project was one of the first OpenFOAM® simulations of Holzmann CFD during the master study at the Fachhochschule Augsburg. A passive scalar was added to visualize the vortex shedding; it is similar to a color line within the fluid. Advanced OpenFOAM® material can be found at
