The repository contains several additional solvers for OpenFOAM. There are several branches supporting different versions of OpenFOAM:
- master development branch supporting recent OpenFOAM (Foundation and ESI)
- OF6 branch for OpenFOAM 6 and OpenFOAM v1812
- OF5 branch for OpenFOAM 5
The package consists of two sub-directories:
- myFoam containing several extensions to standard OpenFOAM including:
- some specific boundary conditions,
- mesh movement solver,
- Venkatakrisnan limiter.
- Solver containing
- myLusgsFoam: the LU-SGS solver for steady or transient simulations of turbulent compressible flows,
- mySonicLiquidFoam: transient solver for trans-sonic/supersonic, laminar flow of a compressible liquid.
- myRhoSimpleFOam: steady state SIMPLE solver for compressible gas with corrections for MRF
The installation is quite easy, just do
cd myFoam
./Allwmake
cd ../mySolvers
./Allwmake
There is simple tutorial case in tutorials/myLuSgsFoam. Just run ./Allrun
inside that directory.
- Compatibility with OpenFOAM v2012 there is a change in thermodynamics.
The sensible enthalpy of ideal gas is calculated in v2012 as
h = cp*(T - Tref) + hrefwhereash = cp*Tin eralier versions. Therefore the solver requires to setTref = 0inthermophysicalProperties, see tutorials.
