Following the generalisation of the TurbulenceModels library to support non-Newtonian laminar flow including visco-elasticity and extensible to other form of non-Newtonian behaviour the name TurbulenceModels is misleading and does not properly represent how general the OpenFOAM solvers now are. The TurbulenceModels now provides an interface to momentum transport modelling in general and the plan is to rename it MomentumTransportModels and in preparation for this the turbulenceProperties dictionary has been renamed momentumTransport to properly reflect its new more general purpose. The old turbulenceProperties name is supported for backward-compatibility.
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 settingsaliases: aliases for interactive shellsunset: sourced to clear as many OpenFOAM environment settings as possiblempi: MPI communications library settingsensight: application settings for EnSightparaview: application settings for ParaViewscotch: application settings for compiling against scotchmetis: 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 settingsopenmpi: an example of fine tuning openmpi settings for OpenFOAMparaview: an example of chaining to the standard config/paraview with a different ParaView_VERSIONprefs: an example of supplying alternative site-defined settings
