Openfoam User Guide v9 PDF - Overview
Openfoam user guide v9 – This guide accompanies the release of version 9 of the Open Source Field Operation and Manipulation (OpenFOAM) C++ libraries. It provides a description of the basic operation of OpenFOAM.
OpenFOAM is a framework for developing application executable that use packaged functionality contained within a collection of over 100 C++ libraries. OpenFOAM is shipped with approximately 200 pre-built applications that fall into two categories: solvers, which are each designed to solve a specific problem in fluid (or continuum) mechanics; and utilities, which are designed to perform tasks that involve data manipulation. The solvers in OpenFOAM cover a wide range of problems in fluid dynamics.
Users can extend the collection of solvers, utilities, and libraries in OpenFOAM, using some prerequisite knowledge of the underlying method, physics, and programming techniques involved.
