How to use finite area method in official OpenFOAM 2.2.0?
Dear all,
I am a freshie and is trying to use OpenFOAM, so I have a question that whether I could use finete area method in official OpenFOAM 2.2.X. Is there some tools similar to the faMesh in openfoam-ext, such as surfMesh in official OpenFOAM 2.2.x? Could some one give me any guidance or literiture? Thanks a billion. |
Hi,
a "Finite Area Method"-equivalent Method in OF was intruduced in Version 2.0.0 called "Surface film" , but some people believe it is not as good as FAM, but that was the opinion from someone who is very biased as he is a extend developer. I do not know, but you can install Extend 3.1 and OF 2.3 side by side. There is a Help page on http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Main_Page but I do not have a direct link |
Dear Elvis,
Thank you for the quick and detailed reply! I think I will try to learn about Extend 3.1. To ask this question just because I am afraid I can not handle Extend 3.1. Still I have a question that you say Surface film sat intruduced in Version 2.0.0, does it mean I have to install OF2.0.0, or it is also included in OF2.2.x? Thank you again for all help! Best Wishes! Detian 2014.6.14 |
OpenFOAM 2.3.0 and finiteArea ?
Hi all,
In the cluster, we have openfoam 2.3.0 installed, yet I need to use finiteArea library. Is it possible to compile this library for this version? or 1.6-ext or 3.1-ext needs to be installed? Best regards |
Below given is what I get, when I type wmake libso for finiteArea in 2.3.0?
Code:
