SCALARTRANSPORTFOAM(1)

💖 SCALARTRANSPORTFOAM 💖

okay bestie, listen — this one is part of OpenFOAM (aka The Open Source CFD Toolbox), and it's the passive scalar transport equation solver. yes, that one. she's a classic. let's get into it 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

scalarTransportFoam [OPTIONS]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Passive scalar transport equation solver. that's the whole vibe, no cap. 🦋

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -case dir — tell her which case directory to use (instead of the cwd, like a normal person would).
• -decomposeParDict file — use the file you specify for the decomposePar dictionary. you pick it, she uses it. 💖
• -dry-run — just check the case set-up, using a single time step. no committing, just vibes. 👀
• -dry-run-write — check the case set-up and write, only using a single time step. she peeks and leaves a note.
• -parallel — run in parallel. this is a [Parallel option], iykyk. 🔥
• -doc — pop the documentation open in your browser. so slay.
• -help — short help, then exit. quick lil hello. 🫶
• -help-full — full help, then exit. the extended cut. 👑

🧚 ADVANCED OPTIONS 🧚

• -debug-switch name=val — set the value of a registered debug switch. default is 1 if you omit the value. (you can use this multiple times, she doesn't mind) 🐛
• -fileHandler handler — override the file handler type. lowkey powerful.
• -hostRoots ((host1 dir1) .. (hostN dirN)) — per-host slave root directories for distributed running. the host spec can be a regex. this one is a [Parallel option]. 💀 regex in a host field, iconic
• -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 — load an additional library or library list (can be used multiple times). stacking libraries like accessories. ✨
• -listFunctionObjects — list your functionObjects. show me the function objects bestie
• -listFvOptions — list your 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).
• -listUnsetSwitches — modifies the switch listing to display values not set in etc/controlDict. the sneak peek option. 🙈
• -listVectorBCs — list vector field boundary conditions (fvPatchField<vector>).
• -noFunctionObjects — do not execute function objects. girl is on strike, respectfully. ✋
• -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 — display the source code in browser. read her like a book 📖
• -help-man — display full help (manpage format) and exit. meta, honestly.
• -help-notes — display help notes (description) and exit. 📝

and that's the whole page, bestie! go forth and transport those scalars, passively and with main character energy 👑

okay so real talk — this was brought to you by www.openfoam.com, running OpenFOAM- (yeah the version field is literally empty, she's mysterious like that 💅), and it's the SCALARTRANSPORTFOAM(1) page. mwah. 😘
