Turbomachinery Solver OpenFOAM


This forum has been a big source of information for me since I started doing CFD. Now, I want to share my work to thank your altruistic knowledge sharing. Regarding the main topic of this blog, I am going to talk about my first turbomachinery simulations with rhoSimpleFoam, the problems I found with this solver and my solution, which I called turboSimpleFoam. Feel free to ask me whatever you want or tell me if something is wrong.

1/ Introduction

The scope of these notes is to discuss the simulation of stationary compressible turbulent flow in OpenFoam using the rhoSimpleFoam solver. We assume the reader to be familiar with the concept of stationary incompressible turbulent flows and the simulation of these flows in OpenFoam. This allows us to focus here on the transition from incompressible to compressible. We target internal flow with Mach number between 0.4 and 2. The application to external flows and/or...

This problem bugged me for the whole day. Ultimately the reply from below saved my night.

However, i don't like the new file system solution since you could simply run a virtual box or a docker which are basically the same but much more elegant and portable. I want to have some approach that can install openfoam locally, and be used as a library instead of working in a separate environment.
