QGDsolver library brief

To the contents

QGDsolver is OpenFOAM framework for simulation of fluid flows using regularized (QGD/QHD) equations approach. It contains library for approximation of partial derivatives at face centers of unstructured grids and a set of OpenFOAM solvers:

  1. QGDFoam - solver for compressible viscous perfect gas flows in a wide Mach number range - from 0 to infinity
  2. QHDFoam - solver for incompressible viscous fluid flows with buoyancy force
  3. particlesQGDFOam - solver for compressible viscous perfect gas flows in a wide Mach number range with particles - from 0 to infinity
  4. particlesQHDFoam - solver for incompressible viscous fluid flows with buoyancy force with particles
  5. SRFQHDFoam - solver for incompressible viscous fluid flows in rotating frame of reference with buoyancy force
  6. QHDDyMFoam - solver for incompressible viscous fluid flows in domains with deforming boundary and with buoyancy force
  7. interQHDFoam - solver for incompressible 2-phase viscous fluid flows with buoyancy force and surface tension
  8. reactingLagrangianQGDFoam - solver for reacting multicomponent compressible viscous perfect gas flows in a wide Mach number range with particles - from 0 to infinity
  9. scalarTransportQHDFoam - solver for scalar transport equation to demonstrate the very basics of QGD/QHD equations principles
  10. rhoQGDFoam - solver for compressible viscous flow with arbitrary equation of state (EoS) and in a wide Mach number range - from 0 to infinity

QGDsolver installation

To the contents

The repository is organized as follows:

  • master branch is used for the Doxygen-generated documents (not finished yet) and last test report
  • digitef-dev-ABCD - latest working version of the framework for OpenFOAM+ version ABCD
  • other branches are for internal use and are not intended for compilation

Source code of releases for OpenFOAM+ are stored in releases section, the naming conventions are the same as for repository's branches

To compile sources, run ./Allwmake

To clean sources, run ./Allwclean

To change libraries and binaries destination, run script SwitchDest: a) ./SwitchDest USER - this will set installation paths to $FOAM_USER_LIBBIN and $FOAM_USER_APPBIN; b) run ./SwitchDest - this will set installation paths to $FOAM_LIBBIN and $FOAM_APPBIN

Meeting points for users and developers
