The OpenFOAM Foundation is pleased to announce the release of version 12 of the OpenFOAM open source CFD toolbox. Version 12 takes advantage of modular solvers and non-conformal coupling (NCC) to improve simulations with multiple regions, including simplifying meshing and coupling. Work has continued on the rewrite of particle code, e.g. injection and distribution, parallel decomposition, redistribution and load balancing. There are some new, useful boundary conditions and the option to include units, e.g. [bar], with input values, which are converted accordingly. The installation of third party software is easier, with the openfoam12 package for Ubuntu 24.04 & 22.04 now using the standard paraview package.
OpenFOAM 12 includes the following highlights.
