Henry Weller ca89189ecd solvers::incompressibleFluid: New solver module for incompressible fluid flow
executed with foamRun for single region simulations of foamMultiRun for
multi-region simulations.  Replaces pimpleFoam, pisoFoam and simpleFoam and all
the corresponding tutorials have been updated and moved to
tutorials/modules/incompressibleFluid.

Class
    Foam::solvers::incompressibleFluid

Description
    Solver module for steady or transient turbulent flow of incompressible
    isothermal fluids with optional mesh motion and change.

    Uses the flexible PIMPLE (PISO-SIMPLE) solution for time-resolved and
    pseudo-transient and steady simulations.

    Optional fvModels and fvConstraints are provided to enhance the simulation
    in many ways including adding various sources, constraining or limiting
    the solution.

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
