DPMDYMFOAM(1)

🌸 DPMDYMFOAM(1) 🌸

okay bestie, this is the DPMDyMFoam manual page from the OpenFOAM Commands Manual 💅 it's the whole guide to the solver, so let's get into it ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

DPMDyMFoam is part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox) 🧚

💖 SYNOPSIS 💖

DPMDyMFoam [OPTIONS]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this is a transient solver that handles the coupled transport of a single kinematic particle cloud 🌈 it also accounts for how much space the particles take up (the volume fraction) and how that affects the continuous phase. the way it's giving multitasking 😭

and bonus, it can also do optional mesh motion and mesh topology changes if you want the mesh to move around or change shape 🫶

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -case dir — pick the case directory you want to use. if you skip it, it just uses the current working directory 📂
• -cloudName name — swap in a different cloud name. the default is 'kinematicCloud' 🍓
• -decomposeParDict file — tell it which file to use as the decomposePar dictionary 🧩
• -parallel — run in parallel 🔥 [Parallel option]
• -postProcess — only run the functionObjects, nothing else 🪄
• -doc — open the documentation in your browser 🌐
• -help — show a short help message and then exit 💁‍♀️
• -help-full — show the full help and then exit 📖

✨ ADVANCED OPTIONS ✨

these are the more powerful ones, so use them with main character energy 👑

• -debug-switch name=val — set the value of a registered debug switch. if you leave out the value, it defaults to 1. you can use this as many times as you want 🔍
• -fileHandler handler — override the file handler type 🗂️
• -hostRoots ((host1 dir1) .. (hostN dirN)) — per-host slave root directories for distributed running 🌍 the host can be a regex too 🫧 [Parallel option]
• -info-switch name=val — set the value of a registered info switch. if the value is left off, it's 1 by default. use it as many times as you need 💜
• -lib name — load an extra library, or a list of them. you can repeat this one too 📚
• -listFunctionObjects — list the functionObjects 📋
• -listRegisteredSwitches — list the switches that are registered for run-time modification (check out the -listUnsetSwitches option too 👀)
• -listScalarBCs — list the scalar field boundary conditions (fvPatchField<scalar>) 🌡️
• -listSwitches — list the switches declared in libraries (see the -listUnsetSwitches option) 🔎
• -listUnsetSwitches — changes the switch listing so it shows values that aren't set in etc/controlDict 🙈
• -listVectorBCs — list the vector field boundary conditions (fvPatchField<vector>) ➡️
• -noFunctionObjects — don't run the function objects at all 🚫
• -opt-switch name=val — set the value of a registered optimisation switch (int/bool). default is 1 if you leave the value out. you can repeat it ⚡
• -roots (dir1 .. dirN) — slave root directories for distributed running 🌱 [Parallel option]
• -doc-source — open the source code in your browser 💻
• -help-man — show the full help in manpage format and then exit 📜
• -help-notes — show the help notes (the description) and then exit 🗒️

⚠️ heads up bestie: the -listUnsetSwitches option only changes how the switch listing looks. it's used alongside the listing options, so pair it with -listRegisteredSwitches or -listSwitches 💀
