COLDENGINEFOAM(1)

💖 coldEngineFoam — a whole entire manual, bestie edition 💖

okay so this is coldEngineFoam, and it's part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox). yes it's from the OpenFOAM Commands Manual. no cap, it's iconic. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

coldEngineFoam [OPTIONS]

like, that's it. that's the whole vibe. you run it, you give it options, it does its thing. 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Solver for cold-flow in internal combustion engines. 🔥

that's the whole description bestie, it's a solver, it does cold-flow, in engines, internal combustion ones. main character energy fr fr.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -case dir — tell it which case directory to use, instead of the cwd. you're being so decisive, love that for you.
• -decomposeParDict file — use the specified file for the decomposePar dictionary. you want a different dict? go off.
• -parallel — run in parallel. [Parallel option] ✨
• -postProcess — execute functionObjects only. like, just the little extras, nothing else. a snack, not a meal.
• -doc — display documentation in browser. pop off, open a tab. 🌈
• -help — display short help and exit. the quick lil version.
• -help-full — display full help and exit. the whole entire lore. 👑

🦋 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) — yeah, stack 'em up, it's fine.
• -fileHandler handler — override the file handler type. you're the boss of that now.
• -hostRoots ((host1 dir1) .. (hostN dirN)) — per-host slave root directories for distributed running. The host specification can be a regex. [Parallel option] 🧚
• -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 up, babe.
• -listFunctionObjects — list functionObjects. it's giving inventory. 📋
• -listFvOptions — list fvOptions.
• -listRegisteredSwitches — list switches registered for run-time modification (see -listUnsetSwitches option).
• -listScalarBCs — list scalar field boundary conditions (fvPatchField<scalar>). 💜
• -listSwitches — list switches declared in libraries (see -listUnsetSwitches option).
• -listTurbulenceModels — list turbulenceModels. chaotic. love it. 🌪️
• -listUnsetSwitches — modifies switch listing to display values not set in etc/controlDict. it's the ✨deluxe✨ version of the listing.
• -listVectorBCs — list vector field boundary conditions (fvPatchField<vector>).
• -noFunctionObjects — do not execute function objects. sometimes you just want none of that.
• -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)
• -roots (dir1 .. dirN) — slave root directories for distributed running. [Parallel option]
• -doc-source — display source code in browser. go read the source bestie, it's literally right there. 🙈
• -help-man — display full help (manpage format) and exit.
• -help-notes — display help notes (description) and exit.

💌 one lil heads-up bestie: there are several -list* options and they pair up — -listRegisteredSwitches and -listSwitches both point you at -listUnsetSwitches if you wanna see the ones not set in etc/controlDict. iykyk.

and that's the page fr fr — shoutout to www.openfoam.com, the OpenFOAM- version tag, and the COLDENGINEFOAM(1) footer situation. go solve something cold, babe. 🫶💅✨
