In the following training video, we change the existing #OpenFOAM steady-state case into a transient one. A brief explanation regarding different solvers such as the icoFoam, pisoFoam, and pimpleFoam is given. Subsequently, the case is changed step by step to allow executing the pimpleFoam solver.

In the end, the transient #CFD simulation is checked in #ParaView and a summary is presented as well as the next step we are doing with the case.
