How to calculate skewness for a mesh?
I found the following code used in OpenFOAM to calculate skewness, but the math behind it is not very clear:
Note: the /* */ comments are mine, however, I am not 100% sure about my interpretation of the …

Flux sign and face normal confusion in finite volume method
equation can be further discretized to (using Gaussian quadrature with single integration point):
$$ \sum_{faces} \ (\nabla T .n) S_f = 0$$
My Python solver imports a simple Cartesian (100 x 100 x 1) OpenFOAM … After importing the owner-neighbor OpenFOAM mesh relations, I assumed that the flux is always in the direction from owner to neighbor, so $n$ basically was pointing out of the cell for the faces owned …

Getting adjacent cells map for an unstructured polyhedral mesh
I am doing a little project on solving the heat equation using finite-volume method on a solid cube, I converted the polyhedral mesh of the cube to an OpenFOAM mesh. …
