Henry Weller 8fd9f5758c chemistryModel: new general chemistry solver created by merging standardChemistryModel and TDACChemistryModel
To simplify maintenance and further development of chemistry solution the
standardChemistryModel and TDACChemistryModel have been merged into the single
chemistryModel class.  Now the TDAC mechanism reduction and tabulation
components can be individually selected or set to "none" or the corresponding
entries in the chemistryProperties dictionary omitted to switch them off thus
reproducing the behaviour of the standardChemistryModel.

For example the following chemistryProperties includes TDAC:

    #includeEtc "caseDicts/solvers/chemistry/TDAC/chemistryProperties.cfg"

    chemistryType
    {
        solver            ode;
    }

    chemistry       on;

    initialChemicalTimeStep 1e-7;

    odeCoeffs
    {
        solver          seulex;
        absTol          1e-8;
        relTol          1e-1;
    }

    reduction
    {
        tolerance   1e-4;
    }

    tabulation
    {
        tolerance   3e-3;
    }

    #include "reactionsGRI"

and to run without TDAC the following is sufficient:

    chemistryType
    {
        solver            ode;
    }

    chemistry       on;

    initialChemicalTimeStep 1e-7;

    odeCoeffs
    {
        solver          seulex;
        absTol          1e-8;
        relTol          1e-1;
    }

    #include "reactionsGRI"

or the "reduction" and "tabulation" entries can be disabled explicitly:

    #includeEtc "caseDicts/solvers/chemistry/TDAC/chemistryProperties.cfg"

    chemistryType
    {
        solver            ode;
    }

    chemistry       on;

    initialChemicalTimeStep 1e-7;

    odeCoeffs
    {
        solver          seulex;
        absTol          1e-8;
        relTol          1e-1;
    }

    reduction
    {
        method      none;
        tolerance   1e-4;
    }

    tabulation
    {
        method      none;
        tolerance   3e-3;
    }

    #include "reactionsGRI"

OpenFOAM Configuration

The main OpenFOAM settings are located in the parent etc/ directory. The bash and csh shells are supported and to configure OpenFOAM source etc/bashrc or etc/cshrc respectively which source the following files in the config.sh or config.csh respectively:

  • settings: core settings
  • aliases: aliases for interactive shells
  • unset: sourced to clear as many OpenFOAM environment settings as possible
  • mpi: MPI communications library settings
  • ensight: application settings for EnSight
  • paraview: application settings for ParaView
  • scotch: application settings for compiling against scotch
  • metis: application settings for compiling against metis 5

The config.*/example directories contains various example configuration files for the corresponding shell:

  • compiler: an example of fine tuning ThirdParty compiler settings
  • openmpi: an example of fine tuning openmpi settings for OpenFOAM
  • paraview: an example of chaining to the standard config/paraview with a different ParaView_VERSION
  • prefs: an example of supplying alternative site-defined settings
