Available solvers with hybrid approximation

To the contents

United collection of hybrid Central solvers based on central-upwind schemes of Kurganov and Tadmor and LTS support for steady-state calculations: one-phase, two-phase and multicomponent versions.

Only OpenFOAM+ version of the OpenFOAM technology is supported since 2018. The framework contains next solvers:

  1. Compressible single phase flow solvers:
    • pimpleCentralFoam - Pressure-based semi implicit solver for compressible flow of perfect gas
    • rhoPimpleCentralFoam - Pressure-based semi implicit solver for compressible flow of real gas
    • pimpleCentralDyMFoam - Pressure-based semi implicit solver for compressible flow of perfect gas with mesh motion and AMR
    • chtMultiRegionCentralFoam - Pressure-based semi implicit solver for conjugate simulation of compressible perfect gas flow (Mach number is ranging from 0 to 6) and solid body heat transfer.
  2. Multi-component solvers:
    • reactingPimpleCentralFoam - Pressure-based semi implicit solver for compressible flow with combustion and chemical reactions
    • reactingLagrangianPimpleCentralFoam - Pressure-based semi implicit solver for compressible flow with combustion, particles motion, phase change and chemical reactions
  3. Multi-phase solvers:
    • vofTwoPhaseCentralFoam - an improved version (since OpenFOAM+ 2312) of interTwoPhaseCentralFoam solver that uses volumetric fluxes for transport (increased robustness).
    • interTwoPhaseCentralFoam - pressure-based solver for compressible (0-4 Mach numbers) flow of two-phase media with account to viscosity and gravity. The solver utilizes VoF method for resolution of phase interface and ACID technique ( https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcp.2018.04.028) to calculate properties in the region where both phases are present.
    • twoPhaseMixingCentralFoam - Transient Eulerian two-phase solver. Liquid and gas are considered as compressible fluids. Mass transfer at the interface is not accounted.
    • twoPhaseMixingCentralDyMFoam - Transient Eulerian two-phase solver with dynamic meshes. Liquid and gas are considered as compressible fluids. Mass transfer at the interface is not accounted.
