    Yogesh Dewang
    OpenFOAM is an open-source toolbox of C++ libraries for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations that is free to use and modify. It consists of over 80 libraries used to create 200 applications, with over 1.3 million lines of code, and uses a case structure to organize simulation data in directories for constants, meshes, and solver properties. The document provides an overview of OpenFOAM, links to documentation and forums, and outlines a tutorial case study of airfoil flow simulation using the k-omega turbulence model.

    What is OpenFOAM ?

    I Free and open-source toolbox of C++ libraries, licensed under the


    GNU General Public Licence.
    I Produced by OpenCFD Ltd.
    I Mostly used for computational fluid dynamics.
    I Top level code represents the equations being solved.
    A toolbox, not a black box

    I OpenFOAM consists of (80+) libraries.


    I Libraries are used to create more than 200 applications.
    I OpenFOAM consists of about 1.3 millions of code lines.
    Case structure
    I constant directory contains the
    directory polyMesh and
    dictionaries specifing all
    physical properties of the case;
    I polyMesh subdirectory contains
    a full description of the mesh
    case;
    I system directory contains the
    properties of the solver.
    I Time directories contain files of
    data for every field of the
    simulation.
