OpenFOAM 10

OpenFOAM version 10 includes new developments for moving mesh cases, including non-conformal coupling (NCC) and mesh-to-mesh mapping with a new generalised framework for parallel load-balancing.

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.
