OpenFOAM v6 Released
From the Release Announcement...
The OpenFOAM Foundation is pleased to announce the release of version 6 of the OpenFOAM open source CFD toolbox. Version 6 is a snapshot of the OpenFOAM development version which, through sustainable development, is always-releasable. It provides new functionality and major improvements to existing code , with strict demands on usability, robustness and extensibility.
OpenFOAM 6 includes the following key developments.
- Conjugate heat transfer (CHT): improved usability, with simplified set up and running.
- Rotating/sliding geometries: more robust AMI, and support for periodic cases.
- Particle tracking: optimised computation and improved robustness.
- Reacting multiphase models: phase change, reactions, drag, breakup, coalescence, etc.
- Reactions/combustion: faster, full algebraic Jacobian, significant code redesign
- Other models: water waves and films, turbulence, thermophysics, atmospheric flows
- General: new boundary conditions, function objects, improved code compilation, etc
- Further tools for more productive CFD with OpenFOAM.
- Approximately 750 code commits, 350+ resolved issues
- ISO/IEC 14882:2011 (C++11): tested for GCC v4.8+, Clang v3.7+, Intel ICC v17.0.4+.
OpenFOAM 6 is packaged for the following platforms.
The OpenFOAM 6 Source Pack can be compiled on suitable Linux platforms.
