Hi FOAMers!

A tank partially filled with liquid has a hole at the bottom where liquid drains. In searching for how to do this, I found this thread. Specifically, post #13, which states to post this code

dimensionedScalar totalLiquidVolume = sum(mesh.V()*gamma);

Info << "Total Liquid Volume, Value: "
<< totalLiquidVolume.value() << ", Dimensions = " << totalLiquidVolume.dimensions() << endl;

into your main solver before

runTime.write();

and recompile your solver. The post also says to check it first on a single processor because you might need to change sum() with gSum().


Before I ask if this works, I don't know how to recompile my solver. Is it as simple as backing up a few folders to /applications and then executing ./Allwmake ?
