COALCHEMISTRYFOAM(1)

💖 coalChemistryFoam(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the OpenFOAM Commands Manual — yes, that manual, and yes, we're doing this together 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

coalChemistryFoam — part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox). that's the whole name section, she's lowkey mysterious like that 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

coalChemistryFoam [OPTIONS]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does she DO. coalChemistryFoam is a transient solver</> for compressible, turbulent flow with coal and limestone clouds</>, energy sources</> and combustion</>. yeah. she's doing the absolute most and she's doing it well 🔥

basically: gas + particles + heat + fire, all evolving in time. main character energy fr fr 👑

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

here's the whole roster, no gatekeeping, every single one:

• -case dir — tell her which case directory to use, instead of just vibing in the cwd 🏠
• -decomposeParDict file — use this specific file for the decomposePar dictionary
• -dry-run — check that your case set-up is even valid, using just a single time step. the "getting ready in the mirror" option ✨
• -dry-run-write — same vibe check, but it also writes, still only a single time step
• -parallel — run in parallel 🏃♀️ [Parallel option]
• -postProcess — only execute the functionObjects, nothing else
• -doc — pop the documentation open in your browser 🌐
• -help — short help, then she dips
• -help-full — the full help, then she dips

🌈 ADVANCED OPTIONS 🌈

the deep lore section. iykyk 💜

• -debug-switch name=val — set the value of a registered debug switch. if you omit the value, the default is 1. (can be used multiple times 🔁)
• -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. value omitted? default is 1. (can be used multiple times 🔁)
• -lib name — load an extra library, or a whole list of them (can be used multiple times)
• -listFunctionObjects — list the functionObjects
• -listFvOptions — list the 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 the turbulenceModels
• -listUnsetSwitches — flips the switch listing so it shows values not set in etc/controlDict
• -listVectorBCs — list vector field boundary conditions (fvPatchField<vector>)
• -noFunctionObjects — do not execute function objects 🙅♀️
• -opt-switch name=val — set the value of a registered optimisation switch (int/bool). omit the value and the default is 1. (can be used multiple times 🔁)
• -roots (dir1 .. dirN) — slave root directories for distributed running [Parallel option]
• -doc-source — open the source code in your browser 📜
• -help-man — full help in manpage format, then exit
• -help-notes — help notes (the description) and exit

bestie reminder: this is the OpenFOAM Commands Manual page for coalChemistryFoam(1), hosted over at www.openfoam.com — and that footer said OpenFOAM- (version string, as shipped) with the manpage date tag riding along at the bottom. go slay some combustion 💖🔥
