The foam-extend project is a fork of the OpenFOAM® open source
|
|
|
|
|
library for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). It is an open
|
|
|
|
|
project welcoming and integrating contributions from all users and
|
|
|
|
|
developers. Previously known as OpenFOAM-dev and OpenFOAM-extend,
|
|
|
|
|
it contains bug fixes and performance improvements, as well as
|
|
|
|
|
extensions and additional features provided by community
|
|
|
|
|
contributors (see file ListOfContributors), such as dynamic mesh and
|
|
|
|
|
topological change support, turbomachinery extensions including
|
|
|
|
|
general grid interpolation (GGI), cyclic GGI and mixing plane,
|
|
|
|
|
block-coupled matrix support, implicitly coupled conjugate heat
|
|
|
|
|
transfer and other physics coupling, finite area method,
|
|
|
|
|
comprehensive dynamic mesh (motion and topological changes)
|
|
|
|
|
capability and GPU support. For a full list, see below and previous

Version 4.0, nicknamed "Guimaraes", is the current version of
|
2015-09-11 16:08:14 +00:00
|
|
|
foam-extend. The release continues the tradition and spirit of the
|
|
|
|
|
original FOAM code developed by prof. Jasak and Mr. Weller during
|
|
|
|
|
their time at Imperial College and released as the general purpose
|
|
|
|
|
CFD/CCM package by Nabla Ltd. in 2000. In this spirit, we reverted
|
|
|
|
|
18 December 2013 to the original numbering scheme (foam-2.3.2, 13
|
|
|
|
|
December 2004) as release number 3.0. Visit <a href="http://foam-extend.org">http://foam-extend.org</a>
|

Upstream features from the OpenFOAM® code base are merged into
|
|
|
|
|
foam-extend on regular basis. The interface format of
|
2016-12-13 10:08:49 +00:00
|
|
|
foam-extend-4.0 is largely compatible to foam-extend-3.2, to
|
2015-09-11 16:08:14 +00:00
|
|
|
OpenFOAM-1.6-ext and OpenFOAM-1.7.x. In some cases, the
|
|
|
|
|
differences are caused by bug fixes and algorithmic improvements,
|
|
|
|
|
considered more important than inter-operability.

A large number of features have been lost within the release of
|
|
|
|
|
OpenFOAM since version 1.3, the code base has shrunk by more than
|
|
|
|
|
40%. While we understand the lack of technical ability of
|
|
|
|
|
supporting advanced CFD features, we feel that existing features and
|
|
|
|
|
specifically large-scale contributions should remain active and
|
|
|
|
|
developed further. Below is a list of main features of foam-extend
|
|
|
|
|
which are lacking, lost, deactivated or unusable in ESI releases:
