OVERINTERPHASECHANGEDYMFOAM(1)

📦 version 2512, in nixpkgs unstable

overInterPhaseChangeDyMFoam — the solver that's literally built different 💅

Okay bestie, gather round because I'm about to put you onto overInterPhaseChangeDyMFoam, which is part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox). Fr fr, this one's a whole vibe. 🌀

SYNOPSIS ✨

overInterPhaseChangeDyMFoam [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION 🦋

So like, this solver handles two incompressible, isothermal, immiscible fluids with phase-change using VOF (volume of fluid) phase-fraction based interface capturing. No cap, it's giving main character energy. And it does all of that with optional dynamic mesh motion (including overset) and mesh topology changes including adaptive re-meshing. The way this thing just moves and re-meshes? Obsessed. 💖

OPTIONS 🎀

  • -case dir — Sets the case directory instead of defaulting to the current directory. Slay, no more cd-ing around.
  • -decomposeParDict file — Points to an alternative decomposePar dictionary file. For when you're feeling a little extra with your parallel setup.
  • -parallel — Runs it in parallel. [Parallel option] Periodt.
  • -postProcess — Executes functionObjects only. Like, no full solve, just the cute little extras.
  • -doc — Displays documentation in your browser. Knowledge is free bestie.
  • -help — Displays short help and exits. For when you need answers now.
  • -help-full — Displays full help and exits. The extended cut, for the girlies who want the whole story.

ADVANCED OPTIONS 🧚

  • -debug-switch name=val — Sets named DebugSwitch (default value: 1). [Can be used multiple times] Turn the chaos up as much as you want.
  • -fileHandler handler — Overrides the file handler type. File handling but make it fashion.
  • -hostRoots ((host1 dir1) .. (hostN dirN)) — Per-subprocess root directories for distributed running. The host specification can be a regex. [Parallel option] Distributed girlie things.
  • -info-switch name=val — Sets named InfoSwitch (default value: 1). [Can be used multiple times] Info go brrr.
  • -lib name — Additional library or library list to load. [Can be used multiple times] Load up, load out.
  • -listFunctionObjects — Lists functionObjects. A whole catalog of them, iykyk.
  • -listFvOptions — Lists fvOptions. Cute little list.
  • -listRegisteredSwitches — Lists switches registered for run-time modification (see the -listUnsetSwitches option). Transparency era.
  • -listScalarBCs — Lists scalar field boundary conditions (fvPatchField<scalar>). Scalar besties, rise.
  • -listSwitches — Lists switches declared in libraries (see -listUnsetSwitches option). Declared and ready.
  • -listTurbulenceModels — Lists turbulenceModels. The turbulence girlies are gonna love this one.
  • -listUnsetSwitches — Modifies switch listing to display values not set in etc/controlDict. Showing you what's not there, which is lowkey iconic.
  • -listVectorBCs — Lists vector field boundary conditions (fvPatchField<vector>). Vectors too, we love range.
  • -mpi-no-comm-dup — Disables initial MPI_Comm_dup(). MPI, but make it less noisy.
  • -mpi-split-by-appnum — Splits world communicator based on the APPNUM. Dividing the world, basically.
  • -mpi-threads — Requests use of MPI threads. Threads requested bestie.
  • -no-libs — Disables use of the controlDict libs entry. Sometimes you don't need the extra baggage.
  • -noFunctionObjects — Does not execute function objects. No extras, just vibes.
  • -opt-switch name=val — Sets named OptimisationSwitch (default value: 1). [Can be used multiple times] Optimize your life, multiple times over.
  • -roots (dir1 .. dirN) — Subprocess root directories for distributed running [Parallel option]. Roots for your parallel era.
  • -world name — Name of the local world for parallel communication [Parallel option]. Your own little parallel universe, named by you bestie.
  • -doc-source — Displays source code in browser. Source code as a viewing experience, we stan.
  • -help-man — Displays full help (manpage format) and exits. Meta but make it cute.
  • -help-notes — Displays help notes (description) and exits. The notes, the lore, the description.
