π SIMPLESPRAYFOAM π
okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about simpleSprayFoam β it's a command from the OpenFOAM Commands Manual (yep, the OpenFOAM toolbox, the whole CFD situation, you know the one π).
β¨ NAME β¨
simpleSprayFoam β literally just a little piece of OpenFOAM, The Open Source CFD Toolbox. that's it, that's the name, she's humble π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
simpleSprayFoam [OPTIONS]
that's the whole vibe. command, then options, go off π¦
π DESCRIPTION π
so simpleSprayFoam is a steady-state solver for compressible, turbulent flow. and it's not just any flow bestie β it's got reacting, multiphase particle clouds in the mix, plus optional sources/constraints if you want to add those on top. it's giving main character energy, fr fr π₯
π OPTIONS π
here's where it gets juicy. one bullet per flag, no skipping, no cap:
-casedir β tell it which case directory to use instead of just vibing in the cwd π-decomposeParDictfile β use the file you specify for thedecomposePardictionary-dry-runβ just check the case set-up, using a single time step. no commitment, we're just looking π-dry-run-writeβ check the case set-up and write, still only using a single time step-parallelβ run in parallel. [Parallel option] β¨-postProcessβ executefunctionObjectsonly-docβ display the documentation in your browser π-helpβ display short help and exit-help-fullβ display full help and exit
π ADVANCED OPTIONS π
okay these are the advanced ones, the deep cuts, iykyk 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, go crazy)-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] π₯οΈ-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 additional library, or library list, to load (can be used multiple times)-listFunctionObjectsβ listfunctionObjects-listFvOptionsβ listfvOptions-listRegisteredSwitchesβ list switches registered for run-time modification (see the-listUnsetSwitchesoption)-listScalarBCsβ list scalar field boundary conditions (fvPatchField<scalar>)-listSwitchesβ list switches declared in libraries (see the-listUnsetSwitchesoption)-listTurbulenceModelsβ listturbulenceModels-listUnsetSwitchesβ modifies the switch listing so it displays values not set inetc/controlDict-listVectorBCsβ list vector field boundary conditions (fvPatchField<vector>)-noFunctionObjectsβ do not execute function objects π«-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 and exit-help-notesβ display the help notes (the description) and exit
