OpenFOAM 10 Released

The OpenFOAM Foundation is pleased to announce the release of version 10 of the OpenFOAM open source CFD toolbox. Version 10 is a snapshot of the OpenFOAM development version which, through sustainable development, is always-releasable. It provides new functionality and major improvements to existing code, with strict demands on usability, robustness and extensibility. OpenFOAM 10 includes the following key developments:

  • Multiphase: added models and improved performance / robustness of multiphase solvers.
  • Transport: properties consolidated into a single physicalProperties file.
  • Thermophysical: improved handling of conductivity and added documentation.
  • Heat transfer: improved thermal coupling in conjugate heat transfer.
  • Particle tracking: can now be plugged into any solver using the clouds fvModel.
  • Reactions: chemistry now solve for mass fractions to account for thermal expansion.
  • Parallelisation: new framework for load-balancing, decomposition and redistribution.
  • Mesh: general improvements to snappyHexMesh, blockMesh and other tools
  • Dynamic Mesh: non-conformal coupling (NCC) for rotating geometry, to replace AMI.
  • Dynamic Re-meshing: mesh-to-mesh mapping for mesh motion including engines.
  • Function Objects: more efficient output for sampling, and new field calculations.
  • Models and Constraints: now work for moving mesh cases and with function objects.
  • Boundary Conditions: new general conditions of pressure, velocity and temperature.
  • Case Configuration: created userTime to provide a customised measure of time.
  • Computation: improvements to distance-to-wall calculations, time handling and I/O.

OpenFOAM 9 Released

The OpenFOAM Foundation is pleased to announce the release of version 9 of the OpenFOAM open source CFD toolbox. Version 9 is a snapshot of the OpenFOAM development version which, through sustainable development, is always-releasable. It provides new functionality and major improvements to existing code, with strict demands on usability, robustness and extensibility. OpenFOAM 9 includes the following key developments:

    • Multiphase: improved the performance, numerics and robustness of multiphase solvers.
    • Transport: significant redesign of thermophysical transport models.
    • Thermophysical: automatic compilation of model packages, mixing rules, tabulated input.
    • Heat transfer: made calculations consistent between solvers, BCs and post-processing.
    • Particle tracking: cloud types selected by user, not hard-coded into solvers.
    • Reactions: improved robustness of numerics and chemistry and added general controls.
    • Mesh: refactored parts of snappyHexMesh, decomposition and manipulation tools.
    • Surface Film: introduced standard thermophysical modelling.
    • Function Objects: overhaul of packaged function objects for improved usability.
    • Models and Constraints: fvOptions replaced by more flexible fvModels and fvConstraints.
    • Case Configuration: enhanced scripts and added new Function2 functions of 2 variables.
    • Computation: improved robustness and performance of I/O, compilation, numerics.
