Hi Foamers,

I'm having a quite unexpected difficulty at the moment. For the equations in my current solver I need to determine a single scalar parameter from a non-linear 2nd order ordinary differential equation (initial value problem) at every time step. This parameter does not belong to any field - it's just a number (on per time step) I need to plug into the solver.
Now it doesn't seem to be straight forward to solve an ODE (in my case I want to get the radius of a micro bubble from the Rayleigh-Plesset equation) for just this one parameter in OpenFOAM. Does OpenFOAM offer the capabilities of solving such ODEs?

I'd appreciate any help or advice.

Best,
Wolfgang
