This privacy policy was created since we received a request by Google to clearly specify CFD Online's user data policy in a privacy statement.

We have discovered that someone has been able to compromise the forums on CFD Online. Our forum user-database was most likely stolen and this database contained encrypted forum passwords (the stored passwords were both hashed and salted before stored, but the random salt was also available in the user-database). The hash algorithm used is fairly reliable, and was used twice with the random salt, but there has been reports of possible weaknesses, so someone might be able to decrypt the passwords. Hence, we ask everyone to please change your passwords.

All registered users should have received an email asking you to please change your password in the forums. If you remember your password you can do this in the User Panel > Edit Email and Password section here: https://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/pr...o=editpassword. If you have forgotten your password you can request a new one to be set and emailed to you at https://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/login.php?do=lostpw

In addition to the stolen user-database the intruder was also able to install his own Google AdSense advertisements in the forum threads. These ads were quite annoying and were not visible for administrators or moderators, so it took some time for us to discover them. This also happened in the middle of our vacation time. These annoying ads were available from July 28 until August 21.

If you have any questions or comments about this please do not hesitate to contact us at webmaster@cfd-online.com.

We are very sorry about this incident and would like to sincerely apologize to all of our fantastic users.

We have for several years had problems with email accounts at Hotmail/Outlook/Live (all run by Microsoft). Emails sent to these systems have sometimes been automatically deleted by Microsoft. We had a way to avoid this by registering cfd-online.com as a safe sender, but this has not worked lately. This has caused big problems for users who try to register on the Forums, since to activate your forum account you must click on a link in an email sent to you when registering. If Microsoft has deleted this email there is no way to activate your forum account.

We have been in contact with Microsoft and they should now be accepting our emails again. However, the emails might end up in your spam folder. If you find that our emails are put in your junk folder then please make sure that you mark them as "not junk" to help keep Microsoft's spam rating correct. If you have tried to register but have not received the activation email you can ask for a new to be sent here: https://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/re...o=requestemail

This problem is caused by lazy CFD Online users who are subscribed to forum threads etc. and instead of unsubscribing from the threads they do not want any notifications from they mark our emails as spam. If enough people do this Microsoft will eventually decide that all cfd-online.com emails are spam. This will make Hotmail/Outlook/Live accounts useless for CFD Online users (forum users can't register, registered users can't ask for password resets, subscriptions are not working, ...)

The OpenFOAM Foundation is pleased to announce the release of version 5.0 of the OpenFOAM open source CFD toolbox. Version 5.0 is a snapshot of the OpenFOAM development version that is “always-releasable” quality, through rapid-turnaround feedback between code maintainers and users. It provides new functionality and major improvements to existing code, with strict demands on usability, reliability and maintainability. It is produced for the benefit of all users, rather than a handful of commercial organisations.

Version 5.0 is a new major version release in which some backward compatibility to OpenFOAM version 4 is not maintained (requiring some changes to case input files), containing 816 code commits since version 4.0. OpenFOAM 5.0 uses all features of the ISO/IEC 14882:2011 (C++11) standard, and has been tested with C++ compilers that conform to that standard, such as GCC v4.8+, Clang v3.7+ and Intel ICC v17.0.4+.
OpenFOAM 5.0 is distributed under the General Public Licence by the OpenFOAM Foundation for:

• Ubuntu Linux: packaged installation for Ubuntu 14.04, 16.04 and 17.04;
• Other Linux: installation with a Docker container; or compilation from source code;
• Windows 10: installation using Windows Subsystem for Linux with Ubuntu packs;
• macOS: installation with a Docker container.

Hello,

initially for our internal purposes, we started a project to create automated workflows: InsightCAE. The software is open source and most of its applications currently use OpenFOAM as a backend. The project contains:
* a lot of functions to interface OpenFOAM cases
* extensions (schemes, function objects, models ...) to OpenFOAM
* some infrastructure and a GUI to handle parameters and simulation results
* a script-based CAD tool

The project uses CMake as a build system, also for the OpenFOAM extensions. InsightCAE is not tied to a specific OpenFOAM version but does support a large number of versions at the same time.

We have now moved the source code repository to Github: https://github.com/hkroeger/insightcae

We also started a documentation: https://github.com/hkroeger/insightcae/wiki


Please feel free to have a look at the project. Suggestions for improvements are always welcome!

Regards, Hannes

PS: See this screencast for an idea of how an automated process looks like from a user perspective: https://youtu.be/kxGlFxFQzPE

In the last decade, IHCantabria has been working actively on the development of CFD tools to study the interaction of waves with marine structures. In the last five years, our efforts have been focus on the implementation of new physics on OpenFOAM® platform to increase the capability of OpenFOAM® in solving coastal engineering problems. A set of boundary conditions for wave generation and absorption, and new solvers, to simulate two-phase porous media flow which were released in 2014 to make it freely accessible to the scientific community and industry. That bundle is called IHFOAM and it has been updated and actively downloaded from www.ihfoam.ihcantabria.com.




In 2016, IHCantabria reached an agreement with ESI Group to include the IHFOAM developments in OpenFOAM® releases, which are presented every six months.


Since then, IHCantabria has contributed to releases v1612+ and v1706, presented in December 2016 and June 2017, respectively. Both releases included a new set of boundary conditions to generate and absorb waves at the boundaries without the use of dissipation areas to damp wave energy. This new set of boundary conditions, which are formulated using a new concept based on the introduction of mass and momentum along the boundaries, improves the ones initially develop by IHCantabria in 2014 and working with OpenCFD developers reduces the computational cost by around a 30%. In addition, the catalogue of wave theories has been increased covering solitary waves, linear and non-linear regular waves and random multidirectional waves. Wave absorption has also been improved since the original release.


Free surface time history of a cnoidal wave. Dashed red line: IHFOAM-v1.0 (release 2014). Dotted green line: Theoretical solution. Black solid line: IHFOAM (OpenFOAM® release v1706).

Now, we are very proud to announce here the release of IHFOAM-GUI which contains IHFOAM developments during the last years and already included in release v1706. Additionally other physics not included in v1706 release are incorporated in the GUI, such as porous media flow (fully validated, published in four papers) and vegetation fields, (fully validated, published in two papers).



IHFOAM-GUI has been designed following the request of many IHFOAM users to decrease the learning curve in the use of OpenFOAM® for coastal and ocean engineering. It is more than a standard OpenFOAM® GUI since it is especially designed to deal with free surface flows. The user will be able to set-up, in a short time, a numerical wave tank to analyze the interaction of waves with coastal and offshore structures. IHFOAM-GUI builds up the folders and the files needed to set-up a case guiding the user along several menus. Additionally, numerical proves can be inserted and post-processed along the GUI menu.


IHFOAM-GUI is freely downloadable from the following link including a tutorial:
http://ihfoam.ihcantabria.com/model/gui/


IHFOAM-GUI has been designed within the Coastal Hydrodynamics and Infrastructures Group in IHCantabria comprised by ten members. Future IHFOAM developments will be included in OpenFOAM® to be released by ESI Group and included in IHFOAM-GUI.


IHCantabria developments has passed along a thorough validation with existing or tailored designed laboratory tests. Validation results are published in peer reviewed journals. Visit our web page for further details.


We look forward to having feedback from you.


Best regards,
IHFOAM Team
Environmental Hydraulics Institute “IHCantabria” - Universidad de Cantabria


OPENFOAM® is a registered trade mark of OpenCFD Limited, producer and distributor of the OpenFOAM software via wwww.openfoam.com

website: https://github.com/HopeFOAM/HopeFOAM


HopeFOAM is a major extension of OpenFOAM to provide higher order finite element method and other numerical methods for computational mechanics. HopeFOAM has following features:


 High Order：In addition to the finite volume discretization method used in OpenFOAM, HopeFOAM aims at integrating high-order discretization methods into the computational mechanics Toolbox, among which DGM（Discontinuous Galerkin Method）is the first one.


 Parallel：In order to improve the performance and scalability of parallel computing, parallel computational toolkits/software are integrated into HopeFOAM to accelerate the discretization and computational procedures.


 Extensible：By incorporating with the high order discretization and efficient parallel computing, HopeFOAM provides an extensible software framework for further development of application module and easy-to-use interfaces for developers.


 FOAM：The current version of HopeFOAM is a major extension of the OpenFOAM-4.0 released by the OpenFOAM Foundation on the 28th of June, 2016.


HopeFOAM-0.1 is the first publicly released version of HopeFOAM and developed by a major extension of OpenFOAM-4.0. The Discontinuous Galerkin Method (DGM) is implemented in HopeFOAM-0.x. HopeFOAM-0.1 provides 2D-DGM and related support. The major components include data structure, DGM discretization, solvers and related tools. PETSc is used for solving of systems of linear equations. HopeFOAM-0.1 keeps the user interfaces consistent with OpenFOAM. Thus, users of OpenFOAM could implement and adopt corresponding high order DGM solvers in a relatively straightforward way.

'''Welcome to ''OpenFOAMWiki''!'''
We hope you will contribute much and well.

I am currently a student, working with OpenFOAM in my master's thesis. I find OpenFOAMWiki very helpful, but from time to time I discover small mistakes or outdated information, so I would like to be able to fix them. I don't understand why I need to provide my personal biography for this, though.
