Hello everyone!
I hope everyone is staying safe during this time. I am a CFD beginner and my only proper CFD experience was using Ansys 15 CFX and Fluent simulating 1000+ iterations of turbulent flare plate using K-epsilon, K-omega and SST solvers to validate a NASA case. I wanted to go more deeper into CFD and I have found out there are many interesting and exclusive tutorials, example cases and validation cases for many opensource and closed source programs. I know Ansys Fluent and Star-CCM are free for students and will work on windows, as well there is only one version of Su2 code. However I found out there are 3 different variation of OpenFOAM. I have read this old thread: OpenFOAM.com versus OpenFOAM.org: Which version to use? I want to install and then test and run tutorials for each variations. I have access to Ubuntu 20.10 through WSL and I also have access to Pop!OS and Manjaro in a VM for x86. Interestingly I want to also attempt to run it on an arm64/aarch64 version of Ubuntu 19.10 inside a proot container. I understand that I can use alias in the .bashrc file to differentiate each versions. Now I have a few questions: 1). The build instructions for each version shouldn't differ if I am running in WSL or VM correct? 2). I have read this website: https://gitlab.com/arm-hpc/packages/...kages/openfoam and It seems specifically for arm64 I can only install OF5 or OF1912. However is it possible I can build all three versions (are the files architecture agnostic) or is there a specific flag I need? Has anyone build OF for arm64? 3). Fortunately the OS I use have the latest or 2nd latest version of Paraview, can I use it or would i need to build paraview again? If i could use it, do I just skip the paraview portion of the build guide? Anyway thanks for your patience, looking forward to hearing back. |

each version has a quite clear guide for installation, and they may differ, though slightly.
please follow the links below - and install them separately by referring each guide. wish you the best.
