UNCOUPLEDK...PARCELFOAM(1)

💖 uncoupledKinematicParcelFoam 💖

okay bestie, so this one is part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox), and it lives in the OpenFOAM Commands Manual. yes, that manual. the one you keep opening at 2am. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

uncoupledKinematicParcelFoam — part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox). that's the whole name section, she's lowkey humble like that 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

uncoupledKinematicParcelFoam [OPTIONS]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: it's a transient solver for the passive transport of a particle cloud. 🎀

and the way it works?? it uses a pre-calculated velocity field to evolve the cloud. like, the velocity field already did its homework, this solver just shows up and does the cloud part. iconic behavior fr fr ✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

every single one, no skips, we don't do that here 💖

• -case dir — tell it which case directory to use, instead of just vibing in the cwd.
• -cloud name — specify an alternative cloud name. the default is 'kinematicCloud'.
• -decomposeParDict file — use the specified file for the decomposePar dictionary.
• -dry-run — check the case set-up only, using a single time step.
• -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.
• -doc — display documentation in browser.
• -help — display short help and exit.
• -help-full — display full help and exit.

---

🚀 ADVANCED OPTIONS 🚀

for when you're feeling extra, bestie 💜

• -debug-switch name=val — specify the value of a registered debug switch. default is 1 if the value is omitted. (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. [Parallel option]
• -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).
• -listFunctionObjects — list functionObjects.
• -listRegisteredSwitches — list switches registered for run-time modification (see -listUnsetSwitches option).
• -listScalarBCs — list scalar field boundary conditions (fvPatchField<scalar>).
• -listSwitches — list switches declared in libraries (see -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.
• -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.
• -help-man — display full help (manpage format) and exit.
• -help-notes — display help notes (description) and exit.

okay that's the whole page bestie, you ate that 🍓 and just so you know, the footer energy was giving www.openfoam.com on the left and an OpenFOAM- version tag with a date slot that's just… blank, sitting there next to UNCOUPLEDK...PARCELFOAM(1) on the right. mysterious. main character energy. periodt 💅🌈
