For Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, 24.04 LTS, 25.04, Windows and macOS
The OpenFOAM Foundation is pleased to announce the release of version 13 of the OpenFOAM open source CFD toolbox. Version 13 includes: a rewrite of mesh zones which can dynamically update and are easier to use and more robust (replacing the lousy topoSet): field-based Lagrangian, a 65% complete, more flexible, extensible and efficient replacement to the existing code; improvements to MULES to guarantee boundedness and accelerate solutions, e.g. in multiphase flows; a rewrite of mass transfer modelling; better visualisation with ParaView working on decomposed cases, foamVTKSeries for animations and improved foamMonitor; several improvements and additions for multi-region simulations, case configuration, meshing, function objects, multiphase flows and combustion.
OpenFOAM 13 includes the following highlights.
