XIFOAM(1)

💖 OpenFOAM Commands Manual 💖

Okay bestie, let's talk about XiFoam 🔥

✨ NAME ✨

XiFoam is part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox) 🌈 It's giving open-source CFD energy.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

XiFoam [OPTIONS]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so XiFoam is a solver for compressible premixed/partially-premixed combustion, and it comes with turbulence modelling built in. It's literally a whole vibe 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

Here's the full lineup of options, no cap 👑

• -case dir — Pick the case directory you want to use, instead of the current working directory 📂
• -decomposeParDict file — Tell it which file to use as the decomposePar dictionary 🧩
• -dry-run — Check your case set-up only, using a single time step 🙈
• -dry-run-write — Check your case set-up and write, but still only using a single time step ✨
• -parallel — Run in parallel 🫶 [Parallel option]
• -postProcess — Only execute functionObjects, nothing else 🧚
• -doc — Pull up the documentation in your browser 📖
• -help — Show a short help message and exit 💜
• -help-full — Show the full help and exit 🍓

🌟 ADVANCED OPTIONS 🌟

Ngl these ones are for the power users 😭

• -debug-switch name=val — Set the value of a registered debug switch. If you leave the value off, it defaults to 1. You can use this multiple times 🔥
• -fileHandler handler — Override the file handler type 🎀
• -hostRoots ((host1 dir1) .. (hostN dirN)) — Set per-host slave root directories for distributed running. The host spec can be a regex, which is giving flexibility 🦋 [Parallel option]
• -info-switch name=val — Set the value of a registered info switch. If the value is omitted, it defaults to 1. Multiple uses are allowed 🌈
• -lib name — Load an extra library or library list. You can use this multiple times 💅
• -listFunctionObjects — List the functionObjects 📋
• -listFvOptions — List the fvOptions ✨
• -listRegisteredSwitches — List the switches registered for run-time modification. See the -listUnsetSwitches option too 👑
• -listScalarBCs — List the scalar field boundary conditions (fvPatchField<scalar>) 🧁
• -listSwitches — List the switches declared in libraries. See the -listUnsetSwitches option too 🫧
• -listTurbulenceModels — List the turbulenceModels 🌊
• -listUnsetSwitches — This one changes the switch listing so it shows values not set in etc/controlDict 🙈
• -listVectorBCs — List the vector field boundary conditions (fvPatchField<vector>) 💜
• -noFunctionObjects — Don't execute function objects 🚫
• -opt-switch name=val — Set the value of a registered optimisation switch (int/bool). If you leave the value off, it defaults to 1. Multiple uses are allowed 🍓
• -roots (dir1 .. dirN) — Slave root directories for distributed running [Parallel option] 🌸
• -doc-source — Pull up the source code in your browser 🧚
• -help-man — Show the full help in manpage format, then exit 📜
• -help-notes — Show the help notes (description), then exit 🫶
