The new multiphaseEulerFoam is based on reactingMultiphaseEulerFoam with some improvements and rationalisation to assist maintenance and further development. The phase system solution has been enhanced to handle two phases more effectively and all two-phase specific models updated for compatibility so that multiphaseEulerFoam can also replace reactingTwoPhaseEulerFoam. When running multiphaseEulerFoam with only two-phases the default behaviour is to solve for both phase-fractions but optionally a reference phase can be specified so that only the other phase-fraction is solved, providing better compatibility with the behaviour of reactingTwoPhaseEulerFoam. All reactingMultiphaseEulerFoam and reactingTwoPhaseEulerFoam tutorials have been updated for multiphaseEulerFoam.
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:
