✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, welcome to reactingFoam — it's part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox), and it's the solver for combustion with chemical reactions 🔥. yes, actual fire math. this page is from the OpenFOAM Commands Manual and it's gonna be your new hyperfixation, i promise.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

reactingFoam [OPTIONS]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. you run it, it cooks (literally). 🧚

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Solver for combustion with chemical reactions

that's the entire description and honestly? iconic. it reacts. it foams. it does chemistry. periodt. 💖

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

every single one, no gatekeeping, let's go 🫶

  • -case dir — tell it which case directory to use instead of the cwd (current working directory). like, "bestie, not here, there." 📁
  • -decomposeParDict file — use this specific file for the decomposePar dictionary instead of whatever default it would grab.
  • -dry-run — just check the case set-up, using a single time step. no full run, just a lil vibe check. 👀
  • -dry-run-write — check the case set-up and write, still only using a single time step.
  • -parallel — run in parallel. [Parallel option] ✨
  • -postProcess — execute functionObjects only. that's the whole job. nothing else.
  • -doc — pops the documentation open in your browser 🌈
  • -help — short help, then exit. quick lil snack.
  • -help-full — full help, then exit. the whole meal. 🍓

👑 ADVANCED OPTIONS 👑

this is the advanced section, so obviously main character energy only. 😌

  • -debug-switch name=val — set the value of a registered debug switch. if you omit the value, the default is 1. (can be used multiple times, spam it, she can take it)
  • -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. 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).
  • -listFunctionObjects — lists functionObjects. just, like, shows you them.
  • -listFvOptions — lists fvOptions.
  • -listRegisteredSwitches — lists switches registered for run-time modification (see the -listUnsetSwitches option).
  • -listScalarBCs — lists scalar field boundary conditions (fvPatchField<scalar>).
  • -listSwitches — lists switches declared in libraries (see the -listUnsetSwitches option).
  • -listTurbulenceModels — lists turbulenceModels.
  • -listUnsetSwitches — modifies the switch listing so it displays values not set in etc/controlDict. sneaky but useful. 🙈
  • -listVectorBCs — lists vector field boundary conditions (fvPatchField<vector>).
  • -noFunctionObjects — do not execute function objects. nope. not today.
  • -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 — displays the source code in your browser 👩‍💻
  • -help-man — full help in manpage format, then exit.
  • -help-notes — help notes (description), then exit.
ngl bestie, that's a lot of flags. you don't need all of them at once. breathe. 💜
