Hi everyone,

In the Department of "Mathematical Modeling and Numerical Simulations", Institute of Mechanics - BAS, is developed a new finite volume algorithm for calculation of compressible fluid (SIMPLE-TS (Time Step). The algorithm is published in Journal of Computational Physics.
SIMPLE-like algorithms have one main disadvantages. They use the approximation drho/dt = (rho - rho^(n-1))/ht in the pressure equation. Because if this disadvantages the pressure equation...

Well, I've been meaning to this for a while now, so here goes - This a list of threads that could prove useful to new comers to OpenFOAM on how to build it as well as the Third Party tools.

Keep in mind:

• That this isn't going to answer all of the questions you might have, but should help you with the more usual issues you might have.
• The solution you seek might only come along after reading most of the thread each link points to.

Due to blog post constraint to 10000...

Greetings to all!

[When this post was first written] Less than a month ago OpenFOAM 1.7.0 was released. With it also came ParaView...

This is a rough list of informations to be compiled and posted on openfoamwiki.net on a page about running OpenFOAM in parallel. If someone picks up on this and wants to start the article in the wiki, be my guest. Leave a comment pointing to the wiki page, so we can cooperate

List of already catalogued applications on the wiki for pre/post processing for parallel mode: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Ca...sing_utilities
Yet to be catalogued:

After limited success with the old instructions "Using the official pre-built ParaView 3.8.0 version with OpenFOAM...", I've decided to write a new blog post, instead of editing the old one. Hopefully these instructions no longer will have the...
