The OpenFOAM Foundation is pleased to announce the release of version 2.3.1 of the OpenFOAM open source CFD toolbox. The release coincides with the 10th Anniversary of the first release of OpenFOAM (version 1.0) by the project founders: Henry Weller, Chris Greenshields and Mattijs Janssens.
Version 2.3.1 consolidates the major version 2.3.0 release through a large number of bug fixes and code improvements, included in over 400 code commits and 800 file changes. OpenFOAM v2.3.1 is distributed under the General Public Licence by the OpenFOAM Foundation as:
Pre-processing A new fixedNormalInletOutletVelocity boundary condition (BC) has been added in 2.3.1; the pressureInletOutletVelocity BC now optionally includes a specified tangential component for velocity. Meshing snappyHexMesh includes some feature enhancements including allowing empty refinement surfaces and improved feature refinement with parallel running; a new searchableSurface has been introduced called searchableDisk, which defines a circular disk by origin, normal and radius; the Bspline functionality has been reintroduced to blockMesh. Thermophysical modelling Support has been added for PengRobinsonGas equation of state. Turbulence modelling The kOmegaSST model has been upgraded and support for multiphase operation has been included in the buoyantKEpsilon and continuousGasKEpsilon models. Multiphase modelling
Improvements have been incorporated to deal with ‘stuck’ particles and a new Lagrangian turbulence library has been created for the new turbulence modelling structure. Post-processing A new vorticity function object has been added in this release. Other The run-time code compilation, e.g. using the the #codeStream directive, and systemCall function object are now activated by default in 2.3.1; they can be deactivated by setting allowSystemOperations switch off (= 0) in the global controlDict file in the etc directory of the OpenFOAM installation. OpenFOAM v2.3.1 was produced by Henry Weller, Mattijs Janssens, Chris Greenshields, Andy Heather, William Bainbridge and Sergio Ferraris. Thanks to the OpenFOAM enthusiasts who have contributed to a better code through the bug reporting system. To download OpenFOAM 2.3.1, click here. |
