The new default paraFoam configuration is in the files OpenFOAM-dev/etc/paraFoam
containing the entry
defaultFields (U p p_rgh T alpha.water alpha.air);
specifying the set of fields which are loaded by default if available. This
setting maybe overridden by providing additional paraFoam configuration files in
any of the OpenFOAM etc directories searched, listed using
foamEtcFile -list
e.g.
~/.OpenFOAM/dev
~/.OpenFOAM
~/OpenFOAM/site/dev
~/OpenFOAM/site
~/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-dev/etc
The new configurable set of default fields loaded replaces the original hard-coded default of
"p" and "U" and is much more convenient for current OpenFOAM usage.
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:

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
