💖 compressibleMultiphaseInterFoam 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this one is a whole situation and it lives in the OpenFOAM Commands Manual — yes, that's the manual, and yes, this is its moment. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

compressibleMultiphaseInterFoam — part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox). no cap, that's the whole name section, she's lowkey humble.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

compressibleMultiphaseInterFoam [OPTIONS]

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

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what is she? she's a solver — and not just any solver, she's the solver for N compressible, non-isothermal immiscible fluids, and she does it using VOF phase-fraction based interface capturing.

read that again. N fluids. compressible ones. non-isothermal ones. immiscible ones — meaning they do NOT mix, they do NOT blend, they are giving separate-fluids-with-a-clean-interface energy and honestly? iconic. the VOF phase-fraction based interface capturing is literally the mechanism that keeps track of where each phase ends and the next one begins. 🌈

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

  • -case dir — point her at the case directory you wanna use (instead of just vibing in the current working directory, aka the cwd).
  • -decomposeParDict file — use this specific file for the decomposePar dictionary, instead of whatever default she'd grab.
  • -dry-run — a little dress rehearsal: check the case set-up only, using a single time step. no committing to the bit.
  • -dry-run-write — dress rehearsal plus writing output: check the case set-up and write, again only using a single time step.
  • -parallel — run in parallel. yes ma'am, multiple cores, she's a team player. [Parallel option]
  • -postProcess — skip to the good part: execute functionObjects only.
  • -doc — pop the documentation open in your browser. 🫶
  • -help — short help, then exit. quick lil snack.
  • -help-full — the full help, then exit. the whole meal.

💜 ADVANCED OPTIONS 💜

these are for when you're feeling extra. and bestie, you should feel extra.

  • -debug-switch name=val — set the value of a registered debug switch. if you leave the value out, the default is 1. (you can use this one multiple times, go wild)
  • -fileHandler handler — override the file handler type.
  • -hostRoots ((host1 dir1) .. (hostN dirN)) — per-host slave root directories for distributed running. the host specification can be a regex, which is giving powerful-but-please-be-careful. [Parallel option]
  • -info-switch name=val — set the value of a registered info switch. value omitted? default is 1. (also usable multiple times ✨)
  • -lib name — load an additional library, or a whole list of libraries. (can be used multiple times)
  • -listFunctionObjects — list the functionObjects. show me the roster.
  • -listRegisteredSwitches — list the switches registered for run-time modification (peep the -listUnsetSwitches option for the plot twist).
  • -listScalarBCs — list scalar field boundary conditions, aka fvPatchField<scalar>. 🍓
  • -listSwitches — list the switches declared in libraries (again, see the -listUnsetSwitches option).
  • -listTurbulenceModels — list turbulenceModels. the turbulence girlies stay winning.
  • -listUnsetSwitches — modifies the switch listing so it displays values that are not set in etc/controlDict. sneaky but useful.
  • -listVectorBCs — list vector field boundary conditions, aka fvPatchField<vector>. 🌸
  • -noFunctionObjects — do not execute function objects. she will simply not do it.
  • -opt-switch name=val — set the value of a registered optimisation switch (int/bool). omit the value and the default is 1. (yes, multiple times, we been knew)
  • -roots (dir1 .. dirN) — slave root directories for distributed running. [Parallel option]
  • -doc-source — display the source code in your browser. go read her DNA. 🔥
  • -help-man — display the full help in manpage format, then exit.
  • -help-notes — display the help notes (that's the description) and exit.
