CfdOF

Current Features

The CfdOF Workbench currently has the following features.

Flow physics

• Incompressible, laminar flow (simpleFoam, pimpleFoam)
• Support for various RANS, LES and DES turbulent flow models
• Incompressible free-surface flow (interFoam, multiphaseInterFoam)
• Compressible buoyant flow (buoyantSimpleFoam, buoyantPimpleFoam)
• High-speed compressible flow (HiSA)
• Porous regions and porous baffles
• Basic material database
• Flow initialisation with a potential solver
• Solution of arbitrary passive scalar transport functions

Meshing

• Cut-cell Cartesian meshing with boundary layers (cfMesh)
• Cut-cell Cartesian meshing with baffles (snappyHexMesh)
• Tetrahedral meshing using Gmsh, including conversion to polyhedral dual mesh
• Post-meshing check mesh
• Support for dynamic mesh adaptation for supported solvers

Post-processing and monitoring

• Postprocessing using Paraview
• Basic support for force-based function objects (Forces, Force Coefficients)
• Basic support for probes

Other features

• Runs on Windows 7-11 and Linux
• Unit/regression testing
• Case builder using an extensible template structure
• Macro scripting
• Support for distributed parallel (cluster) runs via mpiexec & --hostfile
