waves2Foam compilation steps on Ubuntu 22.04 with OpenFOAM 2206
 

Dear Foamers,


due to the struggles i faced while compiling waves2Foam, I am summarizing here the steps i did for future reference and for the benefit of other beginners.



1- as of the date of writing this thread, the latest OF version wave2Foam is compatible with is OF v2206. It should be compiled using the gcc and gfortran versions 9. the steps explained in this thread -> https://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/op...u-22-04-a.html was taken to switch the default versions of gcc and gfortran to version 9. remember to change the default openfoam compiler "WM_COMPILE_CONTROL" to version 9 too.


2- download and specify the gsl location as in the following thread -> https://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/op...am-1712-a.html



3- follow the steps mention in waves2Foam manual to add the waveDyMFoam solver. a point to add here is that the following lines should be added to the EXE_INC in Make/options.

-I$(FOAM_APP)/solvers/multiphase/VoF \
-I$(WAVES_SOL)/waveFoam \
-DOFVERSION=2206 \
-DEXTBRANCH=0 \
-I$(WAVES_SRC)/waves2Foam/lnInclude \
-I$(WAVES_SRC)/waves2FoamSampling/lnInclude \
-I$(WAVES_GSL_INCLUDE)
a very good explanation can be found here: https://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/op...directory.html


note: i am not sure if all these steps are needed. these are just the steps i did.



Happy Foaming!
