RHOPOROUSSIMPLEFOAM(1)

💖 RHOPOROUSSIMPLEFOAM 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the rhoPorousSimpleFoam page, straight out of the OpenFOAM Commands Manual (that's the Open Source CFD Toolbox, iykyk 🫶). grab a boba, we're doing CFD.

---

✨ NAME ✨

rhoPorousSimpleFoam — part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox). she's a whole icon, no cap 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

rhoPorousSimpleFoam [OPTIONS]

literally that's it. just the command and whatever flags you wanna throw at her ✨

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

she's a steady-state solver for compressible turbulent flow, and the way that she handles porosity?? with implicit or explicit porosity treatment — plus optional sources. main character energy fr fr 👑

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -case dir — tell her which case directory to use instead of whatever your cwd is (aka where you're standing rn)
• -decomposeParDict file — use a specific file for the decomposePar dictionary
• -dry-run — just vibe-check the case set-up using a single time step, no actual running
• -dry-run-write — vibe-check the case set-up and write, still only one time step
• -parallel — run in parallel ✨ [Parallel option]
• -postProcess — execute functionObjects only, nothing else
• -doc — pops the documentation open in your browser
• -help — short help, then she's out
• -help-full — the full help, then exit

👑 ADVANCED OPTIONS 👑

• -debug-switch name=val — set the value of a registered debug switch. default is 1 if you leave the value out. (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 spec can be a regex, she's fancy like that. [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 — list functionObjects
• -listFvOptions — list fvOptions
• -listRegisteredSwitches — list switches registered for run-time modification (peep 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 — tweaks the switch listing so it shows values that are not set in etc/controlDict
• -listVectorBCs — list vector field boundary conditions (fvPatchField<vector>)
• -noFunctionObjects — do not execute function objects, periodt
• -opt-switch name=val — set the value of a registered optimisation switch (int/bool). default is 1 if you skip the value. (can be used multiple times)
• -roots (dir1 .. dirN) — slave root directories for distributed running [Parallel option]
• -doc-source — opens the source code in your browser 🔥
• -help-man — full help in manpage format, then exit
• -help-notes — help notes (the description) and exit
