OpenFOAM is developed and tested on Linux, but should work with other Unix -style systems. To check your system setup, execute the foamSystemCheck script -in the bin/ directory of the OpenFOAM installation. If no problems are -reported, proceed to "3. Installation"; otherwise contact your system -administrator. -

-

The ParaView 3.3 visualisation package requires that Qt version 4.3.x MUST -be installed on the system. Earlier or more recent versions (4.2.x or -4.4.x) will NOT work. To check whether Qt4 is installed, and the version, -type: -

    -
  • -qmake –version - -

The ParaView binary executables in the ThirdParty distribution will only -work with PRECISELY the same version of Qt with which it was compiled. The -64-bit version of ParaView was compiled with Qt-4.3.1 (with openSuSE-10.3) -and the 32-bit version of ParaView was compiled with Qt-4.3.2 (with -ubuntu-7.10). If the user finds that a ParaView binary fails to run, then -it is almost certainly due to a conflict in compiled and installed Qt -versions and they will need to consult the section below on "Compiling -ParaView and the PV3FoamReader module." -

The default versions of Qt used by some GNU/Linux releases are as follows. -

    -
  • -ubuntu-7.10: Version 4.3.2 -

-If you don't have an appropriate version of Qt installed you can download -the sources from TrollTech e.g.: -ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/qt-x11-opensource-src-4.3.5.tar.bz2 -and compile and install in /usr/local or some other location that does to -conflict with the pre-installed version. -

If you cannot find an appropriate binary pack for your platform, you can build -the complete OpenFOAM from the source-pack. You will first need to compile or -obtain a recent version of gcc (we recomend gcc-4.3.?) for your platform, -which may be obtained from http://gcc.gnu.org/. -

-

-Install the compiler in -$WM_PROJECT_INST_DIR/ThirdParty/gcc-<GCC_VERSION>/platforms/$WM_ARCH$WM_COMPILER_ARCH/ -and change the gcc version number in $WM_PROJECT_DIR/etc/settings.sh and -$WM_PROJECT_DIR/etc/settings.csh appropriately and finally update the -environment variables as in section 3. -

-

-Now go to the top-level source directory $WM_PROJECT_DIR and execute the -top-level build script './Allwmake'. In principle this will build everything, -but if problems occur with the build order it may be necessary to update the -environment variables and re-execute 'Allwmake'. If you experience -difficulties with building the source-pack, or your platform is not currently -supported, please contact <enquiries@OpenCFD.co.uk> to negotiate a support -contract and we will do the port and maintain it for future releases. -

2 GNU/Linux version

-
+ * New rhoCentralFoam solver for high-speed, viscous, compressible flows + using non-oscillatory, central-upwind schemes. + * New interDyMFoam solver for 2 incompressible, isothermal, immiscible + fluids using a VoF phase-fraction based interface capturing approach, with + optional mesh motion and mesh topology changes including adaptive mesh + (un)refinement. Useful for simulations such as tank filling, sloshing --- + using solid body motion e.g. SDA or SKA (6DoF) — and slamming (using the + mesh motion solver) and other large-scale applications that benefit from + the efficiency gain of adaptive mesh (un)refinement of the interface. + * New compressibleInterFoam solver for 2 compressible, isothermal, + immiscible fluids using a volume of fluid (VoF) phase-fraction approach + for interface-capturing. The momentum and other fluid properties are of + the "mixture" and a single momentum equation is solved. Turbulence is + modelled using a run-time selectable incompressible LES model. + * New interPhaseChangeFoam solver for 2 incompressible, isothermal, + immiscible fluids with phase-change, e.g. cavitation. Uses VoF interface + capturing, with momentum and other fluid properties described for the + ``mixture'' and a single momentum equation is solved. The set of + phase-change models provided are designed to simulate cavitation but other + mechanisms of phase-change are supported within this solver framework. + * New rasCavitatingFoam solver for transient cavitation using a barotropic + compressibility model, with RAS turbulence. + * New lesCavitatingFoam solver for transient cavitation using a barotropic + compressibility model, with LES turbulence. + * New chtMultiRegionFoam solver that couples conjugate heat transfer in a + solid to a buoyancy-driven flow simulation. + * New PDRFoam solver for compressible premixed/partially-premixed turbulent + combustion that includes porosity/distributed resistance (PDR) modelling + to handle regions containing solid blockages which cannot be resolved by + the mesh. Requires the PDR fields. + * New lesBuoyantFoam solver for transient, buoyant, turbulent flow of + compressible fluids for ventilation and heat-transfer. Turbulence is + modelled using a run-time selectable compressible LES model. + * New rhoPimpleFoam solver for transient, turbulent flow of compressible + fluids for ventilation and heat-transfer. Uses the flexible PIMPLE + (PISO-SIMPLE) solution for time-resolved and pseudo-transient simulations. + * New buoyantSimpleRadiationFoam solver for steady-state, buoyant, turbulent + flow of compressible fluids with radiation, for ventilation and + heat-transfer. + * New rhoTurbTwinParcelFoam solver for transient for compressible, turbulent + flow with two thermo-clouds. + * New gnemdFOAM solver for general purpose molecular dynamics that simulates + atoms in arbitrary shaped domains and average atomic/molecular quantities + to the mesh to create field data. + * New mdEqulibrationFoam solver to equilibrates and/or preconditions + molecular dynamics systems. + * Demonstration SRFSimpleFoam solver based on simpleFoam that incorporates + the SRF extensions (see below) for rotating flows. -

The 64bit binary packs of the OpenFOAM release were compiled on a machine -running SuSE GNU/Linux version 10.3 and the 32bit on a machine running Ubuntu -GNU/Linux version 7.1 and also tested on Ubuntu 8.04.

-
+5 Automatic mesher -
+New snappyHexMesh utility that generates split-hex meshes automatically from +triangulated (STL) surface geometries. The mesh approximately conforms to the +surface by iteratively refining a starting mesh and morphing the resulting +split-hex mesh to the surface. An optional phase will shrink back the +resulting mesh and insert cell layers. It has a flexible specification of mesh +refinement level and robust surface handling with a pre-specified final mesh +quality. It runs in parallel with a load balancing step every iteration. -

It has a flexible specification -of mesh refinement level and robust surface handling with a pre-specified -final mesh quality. It runs in parallel with a load balancing step every -iteration. -
