💖 CHEMFOAM 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the OpenFOAM Commands Manual — this is the page for chemFoam, which is part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox). yes she's a whole toolbox. yes she's open source. yes we love her. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

chemFoam [OPTIONS]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. options go in, chemistry comes out. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So like… chemFoam is a solver for chemistry problems, and it's literally designed for use on single cell cases so you can get a comparison against other chemistry solvers. it's giving "controlled experiment energy" — one cell, no<|place_holder_mm_span_0442|>, just chemistry. 🧪✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -case dir — tell her which case directory to use (instead of the cwd, i.e. instead of wherever you're standing right now). 📁
  • -postProcess — execute functionObjects only. that's the whole job. nothing else. 🎯
  • -doc — display documentation in your browser. open her up, bestie. 🌐
  • -help — display short help and exit. the snack-sized version. 🍓
  • -help-full — display full help and exit. the whole entire meal. 👑

👑 ADVANCED OPTIONS 👑

  • -debug-switch name=val — specify the value of a registered debug switch. default is 1 if the value is omitted. (can be used multiple times — she's not gonna stop you) 🐛
  • -fileHandler handler — override the file handler type. 📂
  • -info-switch name=val — specify the value of a registered info switch. default is 1 if the value is omitted. (can be used multiple times) 💬
  • -lib name — additional library or library list to load (can be used multiple times). load her UP. 📚
  • -listFunctionObjects — list functionObjects. 📋
  • -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). 🔍
  • -listUnsetSwitches — modifies the switch listing to display values not set in etc/controlDict. sneaky peeky at the unset ones. 🙈
  • -listVectorBCs — list vector field boundary conditions (fvPatchField<vector>). ➡️
  • -noFunctionObjects — do not execute function objects. the anti--postProcess. 💀
  • -opt-switch name=val — specify 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 source code in your browser. go read the actual source, nerd (affectionate). 📜
  • -help-man — display full help (manpage format) and exit. that's this. hi. 🎀
  • -help-notes — display help notes (description) and exit. 📝

no cap, every single flag up there is real and does exactly what it says. don't skip the boring ones, bestie, they're load-bearing. 🫶

okay and for the cute sign-off: this lil page lives over at www.openfoam.com and it's from the OpenFOAM- line of things (the version bit goes right there after the dash, iykyk), stamped CHEMFOAM(1). mwah. 💋✨
