COMPRESSIBLEINTERDYMFOAM(1)
π NAME π
compressibleInterDyMFoam β bestie, it's a whole solver and it's part of OpenFOAM (aka The Open Source CFD Toolbox). She's iconic, she's free, she does a lot.
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
compressibleInterDyMFoam [OPTIONS]
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
Okay so, no cap: this is a solver for two compressible, non-isothermal immiscible fluids using VOF phase-fraction based interface capturing. Yes that's a mouthful. Yes it's slaying.
And with optional mesh motion and mesh topology changes β including adaptive re-meshing. The mesh can literally move and change shape while you're working. Main character energy fr fr. π
πΈ OPTIONS πΈ
-casedir β tell her which case directory to use instead of the cwd (current working directory). She needs to know where to live, bestie.-decomposeParDictfile β use the file you specify for thedecomposePardictionary.-parallelβ run in parallel. [Parallel option] π₯-postProcessβ executefunctionObjectsonly. That's it. That's the whole job.-docβ pops the documentation open in your browser. so handy.-helpβ short help, then she dips. bye! π-help-fullβ full help, then she exits.
π ADVANCED OPTIONS π
-debug-switchname=val β specify the value of a registered debug switch. Default is1if you omit the value. (Can be used multiple times)-fileHandlerhandler β override the file handler type.-hostRoots((host1 dir1) .. (hostN dirN)) β per-host slave root directories for distributed running. The host specification can be a regex. [Parallel option]-info-switchname=val β specify the value of a registered info switch. Default is1if you omit the value. (Can be used multiple times)-libname β additional library or library list to load (can be used multiple times).-listFunctionObjectsβ listfunctionObjects.-listFvOptionsβ listfvOptions.-listRegisteredSwitchesβ list switches registered for run-time modification (see the-listUnsetSwitchesoption).-listScalarBCsβ list scalar field boundary conditions (fvPatchField<scalar>).-listSwitchesβ list switches declared in libraries (see the-listUnsetSwitchesoption).-listTurbulenceModelsβ listturbulenceModels.-listUnsetSwitchesβ modifies switch listing to display values not set inetc/controlDict.-listVectorBCsβ list vector field boundary conditions (fvPatchField<vector>).-noFunctionObjectsβ do not execute function objects. not me skipping the function objects π-opt-switchname=val β specify the value of a registered optimisation switch (int/bool). Default is1if you omit the value. (Can be used multiple times)-roots(dir1 .. dirN) β slave root directories for distributed running. [Parallel option]-doc-sourceβ display the source code in your browser. peek behind the curtain, bestie π«Ά-help-manβ display full help in manpage format, then exit.-help-notesβ display help notes (the description) and then exit.
Bestie reminder: the ones marked [Parallel option] are parallel-specific. Don't come for me if you use them in serial, okay? π
