Axisymmetric 2D Simulation in OpenFOAM

DESCRIPTION:
Here we will do a simple 2D axisymmetric simulation of a donut shape in freestream. The 'wedge' boundary condition will be introduced and details on setting up an axisymmetric case will be shown.

OUTLINE:
-Use rotational extrude in Gmsh to create a wedge shape.
-Convert the mesh and change the boundary file.
-Change the write format in system/controlDict to 'binary' to prevent errors.
-Run the simulation and view post-processed results.

COMMANDS:
gmsh mesh/main.geo -3 -o test.msh
gmshToFoam test.msh -case case
# Modify boundary file
pimpleFoam
