πŸ’– SIMPLESPRAYFOAM πŸ’–

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 πŸ‘‘).


✨ NAME ✨

simpleSprayFoam β€” literally just a little piece of OpenFOAM, The Open Source CFD Toolbox. that's it, that's the name, she's humble πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

simpleSprayFoam [OPTIONS]

that's the whole vibe. command, then options, go off πŸ¦‹


πŸŽ€ DESCRIPTION πŸŽ€

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 πŸ”₯


πŸ’… OPTIONS πŸ’…

here's where it gets juicy. one bullet per flag, no skipping, no cap:

  • -case dir β€” tell it which case directory to use instead of just vibing in the cwd πŸ“
  • -decomposeParDict file β€” use the file you specify for the decomposePar dictionary
  • -dry-run β€” just check the case set-up, using a single time step. no commitment, we're just looking πŸ™ˆ
  • -dry-run-write β€” check the case set-up and write, still only using a single time step
  • -parallel β€” run in parallel. [Parallel option] ✨
  • -postProcess β€” execute functionObjects only
  • -doc β€” display the documentation in your browser 🌐
  • -help β€” display short help and exit
  • -help-full β€” display full help and exit

🌟 ADVANCED OPTIONS 🌟

okay these are the advanced ones, the deep cuts, iykyk πŸ’œ

  • -debug-switch name=val β€” set the value of a registered debug switch. default is 1 if you leave the value out. (can be used multiple times, go crazy)
  • -fileHandler handler 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] πŸ–₯️
  • -info-switch name=val β€” set the value of a registered info switch. default is 1 if the value is omitted. (can be used multiple times)
  • -lib name β€” additional library, or library list, to load (can be used multiple times)
  • -listFunctionObjects β€” list functionObjects
  • -listFvOptions β€” list fvOptions
  • -listRegisteredSwitches β€” list switches registered for run-time modification (see the -listUnsetSwitches option)
  • -listScalarBCs β€” list scalar field boundary conditions (fvPatchField<scalar>)
  • -listSwitches β€” list switches declared in libraries (see the -listUnsetSwitches option)
  • -listTurbulenceModels β€” list turbulenceModels
  • -listUnsetSwitches β€” modifies the switch listing so it displays values not set in etc/controlDict
  • -listVectorBCs β€” list vector field boundary conditions (fvPatchField<vector>)
  • -noFunctionObjects β€” do not execute function objects 🚫
  • -opt-switch name=val β€” 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) β€” slave root directories for distributed running. [Parallel option]
  • -doc-source β€” display the source code in your browser πŸ‘€
  • -help-man β€” display full help in manpage format and exit
  • -help-notes β€” display the help notes (the description) and exit

okay that's the whole page bestie, you ate that 🫢 stay hydrated, read your -help, and remember: always -dry-run before you commit, periodt πŸ’–

this was brought to you by www.openfoam.com, the OpenFOAM- source/version line, and the SIMPLESPRAYFOAM(1) footer date β€” which, ngl, was left blank in the original, so we're keeping it blank fr fr 😭 no extra lore, i don't make the rules ✨
