Description
Transport package using the Andrade function for the natural logarithm of
dynamic viscosity and thermal conductivity of liquids:
\verbatim
log(mu) = muCoeffs[0] + muCoeffs[1]*T + muCoeffs[2]*sqr(T)
+ muCoeffs_[3]/(muCoeffs_[4] + T)
log(kappa) = kappaCoeffs[0] + kappaCoeffs[1]*T + kappaCoeffs[2]*sqr(T)
+ kappaCoeffs_[3]/(kappaCoeffs_[4] + T)
);
\endverbatim

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
