BOUNDARYFOAM(1)

💖 BOUNDARYFOAM — NAME 💖

okay so. boundaryFoam is literally part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox) 🫶 that's the whole name, that's the vibe, and yes bestie it's a command — a manual page, page 1, group chat of the Unix manuals ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

boundaryFoam [OPTIONS]

that's it. that's the whole thing. she takes options, she doesn't take arguments. slay 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so what does she do? boundaryFoam is a steady-state solver for incompressible, 1D turbulent flow — and the whole point of her, like, the main character reason she exists, is that she's typically used to generate boundary layer conditions at an inlet. 🦋

that's the gig. you run her, she gives you that nice 1D turbulent boundary layer profile so your inlet isn't just... vibes. periodt.

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -case dir — pick the case directory you wanna use, instead of the cwd (the directory you're standing in like a lost little meep 🥺)
• -dry-run — just check the case set-up, using only a single time step. no full run, just a lil peek 👀
• -dry-run-write — check the case set-up and write, again only using a single time step
• -doc — pop the documentation open in your browser 🌈
• -help — short help, then she exits. bye bestie 👋
• -help-full — full help, then she exits

👑 ADVANCED OPTIONS 👑

these ones are the deep lore. not required for everyday life, but iconic when you need them 💜

• -debug-switch name=val — set the value of a registered debug switch. if you leave the value off, the default is 1. (can be used multiple times — stack 'em, queen)
• -fileHandler handler — override the file handler type
• -info-switch name=val — set the value of a registered info switch. default is 1 if you omit the value. (can be used multiple times)
• -lib name — load an additional library or a whole library list (can be used multiple times)
• -listFunctionObjects — list functionObjects
• -listFvOptions — list fvOptions
• -listRegisteredSwitches — list switches registered for run-time modification (see the -listUnsetSwitches option)
• -listScalarBCs — list scalar field boundary conditions (fvPatchField<scalar>)
• -listSwitches — list switches declared in libraries (see the -listUnsetSwitches option)
• -listTurbulenceModels — list turbulenceModels
• -listUnsetSwitches — modifies the switch listing so it displays values not set in etc/controlDict
• -listVectorBCs — list vector field boundary conditions (fvPatchField<vector>)
• -noFunctionObjects — do not execute function objects. nope. not today. 🙈
• -opt-switch name=val — set the value of a registered optimisation switch (int/bool). default is 1 if the value is omitted. (can be used multiple times)
• -doc-source — display the source code in your browser
• -help-man — display full help in manpage format, then exit
• -help-notes — display help notes (the description) and then exit

ok and that's the whole page bestie, every flag, every default, every single one — no cap, nothing skipped, nothing invented 💅

later, legend 👑 — this was boundaryFoam, page 1 of the OpenFOAM Commands Manual, brought to you from www.openfoam.com, version OpenFOAM- 🦋 mwah, go generate some boundary layer conditions at your inlet, you absolute icon 💖✨🎀
