Well... I'm somewhat lazy, so instead of creating a personal blog elsewhere, I'll rant a bit more here at cfd-online.com/Forums, right here in my user blog

Rant #1 - Technically, it seems that Google's name is explained here:

Nonetheless, today I noticed something interesting when I wrote somewhere [1]: ...

Finally finished writing a better page than this one at openfoamwiki.net: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/In...with_the_Shell

This blog post envisions to explain the advanced usages of OpenFOAM's shell environment. For now, only the most common ideas will be explained here, but the idea is to expand it to a size worthy for then moving to openfoamwiki.net.

This blog post is an effort to document the search for solutions for loading dynamically linked libraries and initializing their objects in the desired order. With me, it all started with this bug report: http://bugs.openfoam.org/view.php?id=236

Basically, OpenFOAM initializes debug values right after loading all of the necessary libraries. These debug values are read from the global controlDict files (see $WM_PROJECT_DIR/etc/controlDict in your own OpenFOAM installation, or at the git repo)...

This post is gathers information about OpenFOAM 2.0.x build times, using the gcc version that comes with Ubuntu 10.10, namely 4.4.5.

Since I was curious about using N+1 processes, I've built OpenFOAM 3 times on my machine that has 8GB of DDR2 800MHz and one AMD 1055T X6, using Ubuntu 10.10 with its original gcc version:

• 1st build with 6 processes;
• 2nd

i would like to review some works i have seen in openFOAM which involved boiling.
maybe the main work is related to professor Peter Stephan's group from darmstadt university.
they used the OpenFOAM solver (interfoam) as the basic solver and made new solver, first Bitan shu (Phase change with VOF) in paper "PHASE CHANGE MODEL FOR TWO-PHASE FLUID FLOW BASED ON THE VOLUME OF FLUID METHOD" implemented welch method in "A Volume of Fluid Based Method for Fluid Flows with Phase...
