RHOCENTRALDYMFOAM(1)
π RHOCENTRALDYMFOAM π
okay bestie, so this is rhoCentralDyMFoam, and it's part of OpenFOAM (that's The Open Source CFD Toolbox, in case you didn't know, and you should know π
).
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
rhoCentralDyMFoam [OPTIONS]
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
So what does it do, you ask? It's a density-based compressible flow solver built on the central-upwind schemes of Kurganov and Tadmor. That's the whole vibe. π₯
And listen β it also comes with support for mesh-motion and topology changes. Yes, the mesh can be moving. Yes, the topology can change. It's giving main character energy, fr fr.
π OPTIONS π
-casedir β tells it which case directory to use, instead of just vibing in the cwd.-decomposeParDictfile β use this specific file for thedecomposePardictionary. No cap.-parallelβ run it in parallel. [Parallel option] πβοΈπβοΈ-postProcessβ executefunctionObjectsonly. Nothing else, just those.-docβ pops the documentation open in your browser. Iconic.-helpβ short help, then it exits. Quick lil snack.-help-fullβ full help, then it exits. The full meal. π
π ADVANCED OPTIONS π
-debug-switchname=val β set the value of a registered debug switch. Default is1if you leave the value out. (Can be used multiple times.)-fileHandlerhandler β override the file handler type.-hostRoots((host1 dir1) .. (hostN dirN)) β per-host slave root directories for distributed running. The host specification can be a regex. [Parallel option]-info-switchname=val β set the value of a registered info switch. Default is1if the value is omitted. (Can be used multiple times.)-libname β an additional library or library list to load (can be used multiple times).-listFunctionObjectsβ listfunctionObjects.-listRegisteredSwitchesβ list switches registered for run-time modification (peep the-listUnsetSwitchesoption).-listScalarBCsβ list scalar field boundary conditions (fvPatchField<scalar>).-listSwitchesβ list switches declared in libraries (again, see the-listUnsetSwitchesoption).-listTurbulenceModelsβ listturbulenceModels.-listUnsetSwitchesβ modifies the switch listing so it shows values not set inetc/controlDict.-listVectorBCsβ list vector field boundary conditions (fvPatchField<vector>).-noFunctionObjectsβ do not execute function objects. Nope. Not today.-opt-switchname=val β set the value of a registered optimisation switch (int/bool). Default is1if the value is omitted. (Can be used multiple times.)-roots(dir1 .. dirN) β slave root directories for distributed running. [Parallel option]-doc-sourceβ display the source code in your browser. π-help-manβ display full help in manpage format, then exit.-help-notesβ display help notes (the description) and then exit.

okay and that's the whole page, bestie π«Ά this was RHOCENTRALDYMFOAM(1) from the OpenFOAM Commands Manual β brought to you by www.openfoam.com, tagged OpenFOAM-, and yeah the manpage footer is literally just the title again, which is so on brand honestly π slay, go run your solver π
