The MUSCL scheme in OpenFOAM

haoyuan · August 9, 2017, 17:36

For the compressible flow, the MUSCL scheme is very popular for the reconstruction of the original variables. But I cannot find the MUSCL scheme in OpenFOAM source codes, so I want to ask is this scheme in OpenFOAM or not?
PS: The MUSCL here, I mean the this "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MUSCL_scheme", not the limiter.

Hello haoyuan,

there are several MUSCL type schemes available in OpenFOAM, with limiters which ensure the TVD property of the scheme.

You can use for example vanLeer or SuperBee.

Hope this will help
