- Version 3.1, nicknamed "Zagreb", is the current version of - 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.

3 Compatibility

-
- -

Upstream features from the OpenFOAM® code base are merged into - foam-extend on regular basis. The interface format of - foam-extend-3.1 is largely compatible to 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. -

4 Main differentiators between foam-extend and OpenFOAM

-
- -

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: -

-
    -
  • Turbomachinery features, including General Grid Interface (GGI), - partial overlap GGI, cyclic GGI, with improvements in parallel - scaling. First release of a mixing plane stage interface - -
    • -
  • Dynamic mesh with topological changes Sliding interfaces, mesh - layering, attach-detach boundaries etc. In foam-extend, full - parallel support for topological changes is released for the first - time - -
    • -
  • Finite Element Method with support for polyhedral meshes This is - mainly used in mesh deformation and over the last 15 years it has - proven vastly superior to all other dynamic mesh methods. - -
    • -
  • Advanced mesh deformation technology Including tet FEM mesh - deformation, Radial Basis Function (RBF) mesh deformation, - tetrahedral remeshing dynamic mesh support and solid body motion - functions. All of the above include parallelisation support - -
    • -
  • Library of dynamic meshes with topological changes with full - second order FVM discretisation support on moving meshes with - topological changes - -
    • -
  • Internal combustion engine-specific dynamic mesh classes such as - two-stroke engine and various forms of 4-stroke and multi-valve - dynamic mesh classes - -
    • -
  • Finite Area Method providing support for FVM-like discretisation - on a curved surface in 3-D, with examples of liquid film modelling - -
    • -
  • Block-coupled matrix support, allowing fully implicit - multi-equation solution of NxN equation sets, with full - parallelisation support. First release of a block-AMG linear - equation solver - -
    • -
  • Fully implicit conjugate-coupled solution framework, allowing - implicit solution fo multiple equations over multiple meshes, with - parallelism - -
    • -
  • Proper Orthogonal Decomposition data analysis tools, with - applications to FOAM field classes - -
    • -
  • Equation reader classes and tutorials - -
    • -
  • Multi-solver solution framework, allowing multiple field models to - be solved in a coupled manner - -
    • -
  • A major contribution is solid mechanics modelling, including - linear and non-linear materials, contact, self-contact and - friction, with updated Lagrangian or absolute Lagrangian - formulation. Solution of damage models and crack propagation in - complex materials via topological changes - -
    • -
  • CUDA solver release, provided in full source and as an example of - coupling external linear equation solvers with FOAM - -
    • -
  • Library-level support for Immersed Boundary Method and Overset - Mesh - -
    • -
  • Major improvements in accuracy and stability of FVM discretisation - with options on convection and diffusion discretisation, deferred - correction or explicit schemes - -
    • -
  • Algebraic multigrid solver framework - -
    • -
  • 210 tutorials with automated run scripts - -
    • -
  • Automatic test harness - -
    • -
  • Approximately 6000 bug fixes in fundamental level libraries and - discretisation techniques
