ICOREACTIN...EINTERFOAM(1)

💖 icoReactingMultiphaseInterFoam — a vibe check 💖

okay bestie, so this whole page lives in the OpenFOAM Commands Manual (that's the manual name, mwah) and the star of the show is icoReactingMultiphaseInterFoam — literally one of the OpenFOAM tools, from The Open Source CFD Toolbox. she's a solver. she's that girl. let's go 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

icoReactingMultiphaseInterFoam [OPTIONS]

just her name and some options, no drama, no positional args, periodt 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So what does she do? She's the solver for N incompressible, non-isothermal immiscible fluids with phase-change — and she captures interfaces using VOF phase-fraction based interface capturing. Ngl that's a lot of words, but every single one is doing work, okay? 😤

She also comes with optional mesh motion and mesh topology changes, and yes that includes adaptive re-meshing. so the mesh can move and literally reshape itself while you're solving. iconic behaviour, no cap 👑

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -case dir — tell her which case directory to use, instead of just vibing in the current working directory (cwd).
• -decomposeParDict file — use the file you specify for the decomposePar dictionary.
• -parallel — run in parallel. [Parallel option] ✨
• -postProcess — execute functionObjects only. that's it, that's the whole job.
• -doc — pop the documentation open in your browser 🖥️
• -help — short help, then she exits.
• -help-full — the full help, then she exits. the deluxe version.

---

🧚 ADVANCED OPTIONS 🧚

• -debug-switch name=val — set the value of a registered debug switch. Default is 1 if you leave the value out. (Can be used multiple times, so go off.)
• -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, so get creative. [Parallel option]
• -info-switch name=val — set the value of a registered info switch. Default is 1 if the value is omitted. (Can be used multiple times.)
• -lib name — an additional library or library list to load (can be used multiple times, stack 'em up).
• -listFunctionObjects — list functionObjects.
• -listFvOptions — list fvOptions.
• -listRegisteredSwitches — list switches registered for run-time modification (see the -listUnsetSwitches option, they're besties).
• -listScalarBCs — list scalar field boundary conditions (fvPatchField<scalar>).
• -listSwitches — list switches declared in libraries (see the -listUnsetSwitches option).
• -listTurbulenceModels — list turbulenceModels.
• -listUnsetSwitches — modifies switch listing so it displays values not set in etc/controlDict.
• -listVectorBCs — list vector field boundary conditions (fvPatchField<vector>).
• -noFunctionObjects — do not execute function objects. the opposite of -postProcess, lowkey.
• -opt-switch name=val — set 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 the source code in your browser. peek behind the curtain 👀
• -help-man — display full help in manpage format, then exit.
• -help-notes — display help notes (the description) and exit.

okay that's the whole page!! and for the cute sign-off: this one comes from www.openfoam.com, version string OpenFOAM- — and that footer is all she gave us, so no date to report, sorry bestie, we work with what we get 😭💖 bye, go run your multiphase sim, slay ✨🦋🎀
