👑 RHOSIMPLEFOAM ✨

okay bestie, so <rainbow>rhoSimpleFoam</rainbow> is one of the OpenFOAM squad — the Open Source CFD Toolbox, if you didn't know (and now you do, slay). it's a command in the OpenFOAM Commands Manual and honestly? it's giving solver energy 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

rhoSimpleFoam [OPTIONS]

like, that's it. that's the whole vibe. options only, no positional args, no drama 🎀

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

steady-state solver for compressible turbulent flow. no cap. it's the one you call when your flow is compressible, your turbulence is turbulent-ing, and you want that steady state, periodt ✨

✨ OPTIONS ✨

okay so here's the whole menu, and yes you're gonna read all of it because every single one matters 🫶

  • -case dir — tell it which case directory to use instead of just vibing in the cwd (current working directory, for the uninitiated 💀)
  • -decomposeParDict file — use the file you specify for the decomposePar dictionary
  • -dry-run — just check the case set-up, using a single time step. a little sneak peek, no full run 🔍
  • -dry-run-write — check the case set-up and write, using a single time step
  • -parallel — run in parallel 🏃♀️✨ [Parallel option]
  • -postProcess — execute functionObjects only, nothing else, just the side quests
  • -doc — display the documentation in your browser
  • -help — short help, then exit. bye 👋
  • -help-full — the full help, then exit. the deluxe version

🦋 ADVANCED OPTIONS 🦋

this is the deep end, bestie. put your hair up 💅

  • -debug-switch name=val — set the value of a registered debug switch. default is 1 if you omit the value. (can be used multiple times)
  • -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, which is lowkey iconic. [Parallel option]
  • -info-switch name=val — set the value of a registered info switch. default is 1 if you omit the value. (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. we're skipping the extras today 🙈
  • -opt-switch name=val — set the value of a registered optimisation switch (int/bool). default is 1 if you omit the value. (can be used multiple times)
  • -roots (dir1 .. dirN) — slave root directories for distributed running [Parallel option]
  • -doc-source — display the source code in your browser 👩💻
  • -help-man — display full help (manpage format) and exit
  • -help-notes — display help notes (description) and exit
