SONICDYMFOAM(1)

✨ SONICDYMFOAM ✨

okay bestie, welcome to sonicDyMFoam(1) — she's a whole OpenFOAM command from the OpenFOAM Commands Manual and she is that girl. Let's get into it 💖

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

sonicDyMFoam — part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox). no cap, that's literally her whole job description at the top level.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

sonicDyMFoam [OPTIONS]

that's it. that's the vibe. you run her, you feed her options, she does her thing. periodt. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like… she's a transient solver for trans-sonic/supersonic, turbulent flow of a compressible gas. yes ma'am, we're going FAST and the gas is getting SQUISHED. 🔥

and she also comes with optional mesh motion and mesh topology changes — so the grid itself can move and change shape while the physics happens. main character energy fr fr. 👑

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -case dir — tell her which case directory to use instead of the current working directory (cwd). like, "girl, the case is over HERE, not where you're standing" 🫶
• -decomposeParDict file — use the specified file for the decomposePar dictionary.
• -parallel — run in parallel. [Parallel option] — she's bringing friends, she's not doing this alone 💜
• -postProcess — execute functionObjects only. none of the solving, just the little extras.
• -doc — display documentation in browser. icon status.
• -help — display short help and exit. the quick lil "hey here's the tea" version.
• -help-full — display full help and exit. the whole story, no skips.

🌈 ADVANCED OPTIONS 🌈

• -debug-switch name=val — specify the value of a registered debug switch. default is 1 if you omit the value. (can be used multiple times, she's flexible like that)
• -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. [Parallel option] — regex hostnames?? she's fancy 💅
• -info-switch name=val — specify 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). load her up with more lore ✨
• -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. the turbulence girlies, all named and shamed 🌀
• -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. sometimes you just don't want the extras, and that's valid.
• -opt-switch name=val — specify 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 source code in browser. reading the source is a love language 🙈
• -help-man — display full help (manpage format) and exit.
• -help-notes — display help notes (description) and exit.

ok that's the whole page, no notes, every flag accounted for, nothing skipped. slay. 💅

and a lil sign-off for the very end — this one comes from the OpenFOAM- version stamp over at www.openfoam.com, and she's dated, so go check that page's date if you need the exact timestamp, iykyk. bye bestie, go run your supersonic little heart out 🦋🎀💖
