DPMFOAM(1)

Okay bestie, welcome to the OpenFOAM Commands Manual! 💖 Today we're slaying DPMFoam 💅

✨ NAME ✨

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

📜 SYNOPSIS 📜

DPMFoam [OPTIONS]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so DPMFoam is a transient solver 🦋 It handles the coupled transport of a single kinematic particle cloud, and it also accounts for how the volume fraction of the particles affects the continuous phase. Main character energy, no cap 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -case dir — point it at a case directory of your choice instead of the cwd 📁
• -cloud name — pick an alternative cloud name. The default is 'kinematicCloud' ☁️
• -decomposeParDict file — use the file you give it as the decomposePar dictionary 🧩
• -dry-run — check that your case is set up right, using just a single time step 🙈
• -dry-run-write — same vibe as -dry-run, but it also writes stuff, still using just a single time step ✍️
• -parallel — run in parallel 🔥 (Parallel option)
• -postProcess — only execute the functionObjects, nothing else 🎯
• -doc — display the documentation in your browser 📖
• -help — show the short help and exit 💁‍♀️
• -help-full — show the full help and exit 💜

✨ ADVANCED OPTIONS ✨

ngl these are a little extra, but they're iconic when you need them 💅

• -debug-switch name=val — set the value of a registered debug switch. If you leave the value out, 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 spec can be a regex. (Parallel option)
• -info-switch name=val — set the value of a registered info switch. If you leave the value out, it defaults to 1. Use it as many times as needed ℹ️
• -lib name — load an extra library or a list of libraries. You can use this multiple times 📚
• -listFunctionObjects — list the functionObjects 📋
• -listRegisteredSwitches — list the switches 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. Also see the -listUnsetSwitches option 🗒️
• -listUnsetSwitches — tweaks the switch listing so it shows values that aren't set in etc/controlDict 🧐
• -listVectorBCs — list the vector field boundary conditions (fvPatchField<vector>) ➡️
• -noFunctionObjects — skip executing the function objects 🙅‍♀️
• -opt-switch name=val — set the value of a registered optimisation switch (int/bool). If you leave the value out, it defaults to 1. You can use this multiple times ⚙️
• -roots (dir1 .. dirN) — slave root directories for distributed running 🗺️ (Parallel option)
• -doc-source — display the source code in your browser 💻
• -help-man — show the full help in manpage format and exit 📄
• -help-notes — show the help notes (description) and exit 📝
