Henry Weller 9bf34679bd buoyantBoussinesq[SP]impleFoam: replaced by the more general buoyant[SP]impleFoam solvers
With the selection of the Boussinesq equation of state the general buoyancy
solvers buoyantSimpleFoam and buoyantPimpleFoam can be used instead of the
specialised Boussinesq solvers avoiding the need for special implementation of
thermal and pressure boundary conditions and providing support for radiation and
fvOptions which would not have been feasible or practical in the Boussinesq
solvers.

Other incompressible equations of state are also supported; for most gaseous
problems the incompressiblePerfectGas equation of state is likely to be more
accurate than the Boussinesq equation of state.

The buoyantBoussinesq[SP]impleFoam tutorials have been updated and moved to the
corresponding buoyant[SP]impleFoam directories.

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
