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 list below), such as dynamic mesh and - topological change support, turbomachinery extensions including general grid - interpolation (GGI), cyclic GGI and mixing place, block-coupled matrix - support, finite area method, comprehensive mesh motion capability and GPU - support. For a full list, see below. - - Version 3.0, nicknamed "Jeju", is the current version of foam-extend. The - release now 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 shall revert to original numbering - scheme (foam-2.3.2, 13 December 2004) as release number 3.0. - Visit http://foam-extend.org for more information. - - OPENFOAM® is a registered trademark of ESI Group. OpenFOAM-extend and - foam-extend are a community effort not endorsed by ESI Group. - -* Installation - foam-extend-3.0 can be compiled and runs on any linux system and - Apple Mac OS X. - - ** From source - Please refer to doc/buildInstructions/ for details. Further - installation instruction are available on the unofficial OpenFOAM Wiki: - http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Installation/Linux/foam-extend-3.0 - If you have improvements or build instructions for a new system, please - share them with the community (see section "How to contribute", below). - - ** Binary packages - Binary packages are available for download at - http://sourceforge.net/projects/openfoam-extend/ - for the following systems: Ubuntu 12.04, Ubuntu 13.10 and Fedora 19 . - -* Compatibility - Upstream features from the OpenFOAM® code base are merged into foam-extend - on regular basis. The interface format of foam-extend-3.0 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. - -* Main diferentiators - A large number of features has been lost within the release cycle of OpenFOAM - code; 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-3.0 which are 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 full and validated release of a mixing plane stage interface - - ** Dynamic mesh with topological changes - sliding interfaces, mesh layering, attach-detach boundaries etc. - in foam-extend-3.0 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 mutiple 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 o - 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 framerowk - - ** 190 tutorials with automated run scripts - - ** Automatic test harness - -* New features in foam-extend-3.0 - The list of features is a result of the work of numerous contributors.
