💖 LAPLACIANFOAM 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the OpenFOAM Commands Manual entry for laplacianFoam, which is literally just part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox). she's iconic, she's lowkey the whole point of your simulation, let's get into it 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

laplacianFoam [OPTIONS]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

bestie. it's a Laplace equation solver for a scalar quantity. that's the vibe. that's the whole vibe. she solves the Laplace equation, for a scalar. periodt 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -case dir — tell her which case directory to use instead of the cwd (current working directory, iykyk). like, "girl, live here instead" 🏠
  • -decomposeParDict file — use the file you name for the decomposePar dictionary instead of whatever she'd grab by default.
  • -dry-run — check the case set-up only, using a single time step. no committing, just peeking 👀
  • -dry-run-write — check the case set-up and write, still only using a single time step. she writes but she's just testing the waters.
  • -parallel — run in parallel. this is a [Parallel option] so don't forget it if you're going distributed fr fr.
  • -postProcess — execute functionObjects only. nothing else, just the function objects, main character behaviour.
  • -doc — display documentation in your browser 🌐
  • -help — display short help and exit. quick lil snack.
  • -help-full — display full help and exit. the full meal 💖

🔥 ADVANCED OPTIONS 🔥

these are for when you're feeling spicy. proceed with main character energy.

  • -debug-switch name=val — specify the value of a registered debug switch. default is 1 if you omit the value. (can be used 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 — 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 her up 📚
  • -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).
  • -listUnsetSwitches — modifies the switch listing to display values not set in etc/controlDict. the ones that ghosted the config file 🙈
  • -listVectorBCs — list vector field boundary conditions (fvPatchField<vector>).
  • -noFunctionObjects — do not execute function objects. no thoughts, head empty.
  • -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 your browser 💻
  • -help-man — display full help (manpage format) and exit.
  • -help-notes — display help notes (description) and exit.
⚠️ note bestie: these advanced ones can change how she behaves at run time, so don't just yolo them into a production case without knowing what you're doing, okay? 🫶
