REACTINGHE...PARCELFOAM(1)

💖 REACTINGHETEROGENOUSPARCELFOAM 💖

okay bestie, sit DOWN because we're talking about reactingHeterogenousParcelFoam, and she is a whole entire unit of a solver. she lives in the OpenFOAM Commands Manual section of the OpenFOAM family (yes, The Open Source CFD Toolbox, the icon herself 🫶).

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

reactingHeterogenousParcelFoam [OPTIONS]

like, that's it. that's the whole summoning ritual. just call her name and hand her some options 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so basically she's a transient solver — meaning she moves through time, main character energy, no steady-state situationships — for compressible, turbulent flow.

and she's not doing it alone, bestie. she's bringing:

• reacting, multiphase particle clouds 🦋
• surface film modelling 🎀

chemistry, particles, AND films all at once?? the multitasking. the range. we love to see it. 🔥

---

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -case dir — tell her which case directory to use instead of the cwd (current working directory). sometimes you gotta point her in the right direction, yk?
• -decomposeParDict file — use the specified file for the decomposePar dictionary instead of the usual one.
• -dry-run — check the case set-up only, using a single time step. a lil vibe check before the real thing ✨
• -dry-run-write — check the case set-up AND write, using a single time step.
• -parallel — run in parallel. [Parallel option] — she's not doing this alone, she's got a whole squad 🌈
• -postProcess — execute functionObjects only. no solving, just the little extras.
• -doc — display documentation in the browser 📖
• -help — display short help and exit. quick lil rundown.
• -help-full — display full help and exit. the extended director's cut.

🎀 ADVANCED OPTIONS 🎀

• -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, 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 👀 [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).
• -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 switch listing to display values not set in etc/controlDict.
• -listVectorBCs — list vector field boundary conditions (fvPatchField<vector>).
• -noFunctionObjects — do not execute function objects. respectfully, skip them 🙈
• -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 the browser. reading the source?? highkey iconic.
• -help-man — display full help (manpage format) and exit.
• -help-notes — display help notes (description) and exit.

ngl this one is a lot, but you got this. run the -dry-run first, okay?? protect your case directory. no cap. 🫶

and that's the tea, babe — this page came to you straight from www.openfoam.com, OpenFOAM- version energy, dated to that REACTINGHE...PARCELFOAM(1) manual section. mwah 💅✨
