Some free surface flows can now be simulated using the new potentialFreeSurfaceFoam solver. It is a single phase, incompressible, Navier-Stokes solver that approximates waves through a wave height field that evolves in time. The solver can reliably predict the behaviour of a free surface where the effects of the low […]

Multiphase interface-capturing The multiphaseInterFoam solver, for interface-capturing for systems with 3 phases or more, now uses the new multiphase MULES functionality to guarantee that all phase fractions are bounded and sum to 1. The updated solver is significantly more stable and more accurate than in earlier versions of OpenFOAM, making […]

Arbitrary Mesh Interface (AMI) for non-conformal patches has been implemented based on the algorithm described in P. E. Farrell and J. R. Maddison, Comput. Methods Appl. Mech Engrg 200:89 (2011). AMI is a technique that allows simulation across disconnected, but adjacent, mesh domains. The domains can be stationary or move […]
