OLAFLOW

Description

olaFlow (formerly known as olaFoam) is a numerical model initially branched from IHFOAM. This free and open source project is committed to bringing the latest advances in the simulation of wave dynamics to the OpenFOAM® and FOAM-extend communities.

olaFlow is a set of solvers and boundary conditions to generate and absorb water waves actively at the boundaries and to simulate their interaction with porous coastal structures.

You can find all the information regarding the model at its web site and wiki:

Download and compilation

Basic download guide

To get a full copy of olaFlow source and reference materials, run in a terminal:

git clone git://github.com/phicau/olaFlow.git

Code updates can be downloaded in the future from the olaFlow folder as follows:

git checkout

git pull

Basic compilation guide

Compilation has been simplified, simply run the following script from the olaFlow base folder:

./allMake

You can also compile the boundary conditions or the solvers (olaFlow and olaDyMFlow) independently:

cd genAbs

./allMake

cd solvers/olaFlowXXXXX

./allMake

In this case be sure to select the correct folder for your preferred OpenFOAM/FOAM-extend (OF/FE) version.

Reference materials and tutorials

Reference materials and test cases are included in the olaFlow download. Check the reference and the tutorials folders. For a full description on these materials see:

This repository only includes the tutorials for the most recent versions of OpenFOAM and OpenFOAM+.

The historic record of tutorials released along with olaFlow for the major past versions and FOAM-extend have been moved into their own repository, which you can find in: https://github.com/phicau/olaFlow_oldVersionTutorials
