[waves2Foam] waveFoam and OceanWave3D in parallel

potac · May 24, 2016, 05:51

Hi,
In documentation, I found an information that waveFoam and OceanWave3D is not fully running in parallel. It means each processor will start one instance of OceanWave3D. Does it mean I can still run it in parallel and probably benefit from faster computation but will use more resources on having multiple OceanWave3D for each processor?
Thanks.

Good morning,

@Jan: Yes, the coupling between waves2Foam and OceanWave3D works in parallel just as you described. There is one instance of OceanWave3D per processor.

Kind regards,

Niels
