2 System requirements
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
If the user wishes to run OpenFOAM in 32/64-bit mode they should consult the section "Running OpenFOAM in 32-bit mode".

2.1 Qt (from http://trolltech.com/products/qt)
|
||||
|
||||
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:
|

The ParaView binary executables in the ThirdParty distribution will only work with PRECISELY the same version of Qt

32-bit version of ParaView was compiled with Qt-4.3.2 (with ubuntu-7.10). If the user finds that a ParaView binary

4 Building from Sources (Optional)
|
||||
|
||||
<p>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 <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/">http://gcc.gnu.org/</a>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
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.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
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.

OpenFOAM release notes for version 1.5
|
||||
|
||||
1 Overview
|
||||
|
||||
OpenFOAM-1.5 is is a significant upgrade to version 1.4 in ways which are
|
||||
outlined below. This release passes all our standard tests and the tutorials
|
||||
have been broadly checked. If there are any bugs, please report them using the
|
||||
instructions set out in: http://www.openfoam.org/bugs.html.
|
||||
|
||||
Most of the developments for this release are in: new applications, e.g. for
|
||||
multiphase flow and cavitation, buoyancy-flow and heat transfer, high speed
|
||||
flows and even molecular dynamics; new utilities, e.g. for meshing and case
|
||||
monitoring; and, new modelling, e.g. in Lagrangian particle tracking,
|
||||
radiation and rotating frames of reference. With these new applications come
|
||||
numerous new example cases.
|
||||
|
||||
2 GNU/Linux version
|
||||
|
||||
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. We recommend that users
|
||||

|
||||
<div id="text-2">
|
||||
* 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.
|
||||

|
||||
users run OpenFOAM on one of these or a similar recent version of GNU/Linux.
|
||||
This release has also been successfully compiled and tested on older GNU/Linux
|
||||
releases but this requires the installation of Qt 4.3.? for ParaView-3 to run.

5 Automatic mesher
|
||||
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
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.

|
||||
through cellZones, into separate meshes.
|
||||
* Extended the foamToVTK, decomposePar, reconstructPar and mapFields
|
||||
utilities to include support for multiple particle clouds in parallel
|
||||
processing.

<p>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.
