INTERISOFOAM(1)

💖 interIsoFoam 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is interIsoFoam, one of the OpenFOAM commands — and yes, she is part of the Open Source CFD Toolbox. it's giving solver. it's giving interface capturing. it's giving main character energy fr fr 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

interIsoFoam [OPTIONS]

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so what does she actually do. okay so: this is a solver for two incompressible, isothermal immiscible fluids</>, and she does it using isoAdvector phase-fraction based interface capturing</>. obsessed.

she also comes with optional mesh motion and mesh topology changes, including adaptive re-meshing — so the mesh can literally move and reshape and she's fine with it. iconic.

and for the lore girlies: this solver is derived from interFoam. 💅

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -case dir — point her at the case directory you wanna use (instead of the cwd, which is what she'd assume otherwise)
• -decomposeParDict file — use the file you specify for the decomposePar dictionary
• -dry-run — just check that the case set-up is valid, using a single time step
• -dry-run-write — check the case set-up and write, still only using a single time step
• -parallel — run it in parallel [Parallel option] 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️
• -postProcess — execute functionObjects only
• -doc — pop the documentation open in your browser 🫶
• -help — show the short help and dip
• -help-full — show the full help and dip

🚀 ADVANCED OPTIONS 🚀

• -debug-switch name=val — set the value of a registered debug switch. if you leave the value off, the default is 1. (you can use this one multiple times, 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. [Parallel option]
• -info-switch name=val — set the value of a registered info switch. if you leave the value off, the default is 1. (can be used multiple times)
• -lib name — additional library or library list to load (can be used multiple times)
• -listFunctionObjects — list functionObjects
• -listFvOptions — list 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 turbulenceModels
• -listUnsetSwitches — modifies the switch listing to display values that are 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). if you leave the value off, the default is 1. (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 👀
• -help-man — display the full help in manpage format and exit
• -help-notes — display the help notes (the description) and exit

no cap, that's the whole page. every flag, every default, every regex, every [Parallel option], all of it. periodt. 💅✨

and that's a wrap bestie 🎀 this one came to you from www.openfoam.com, tagged OpenFOAM- (the version line, she's mysterious like that 🙈), and she's filed under INTERISOFOAM(1) in the OpenFOAM Commands Manual. mwah 💖🦋🌸
