Primary LanguageCGNU General Public License v3.0GPL-3.0

atomizationFoam

Features

  • Volume-of-Fluid (VoF) solver for incompressible flows coupled with Lagrangian library
  • Conversion of small VoF elements to Lagrangian parcels to reduce computational cost
  • Support for
    • Particle-particle interaction (collision, coalescence) and secondary breakup
    • Adaptive mesh refinement
    • Fully parallelized
  • Based on interIsoFoam in OpenFOAM v2212.

Compilation

  1. Clone the atomizationFoam gitHub repository:
git clone https://github.com/imfd-stroemungsmechanik/atomizationFoam.git
  1. Use the Allwmake script to compile the atomizationFoam solver and its corresponding library:
./Allwmake
