► OpenFOAM v12 Released
    9 Jul, 2024
OpenFOAM v11 Released - See Full Announcement

The OpenFOAM Foundation is pleased to announce the release of version 12 of the OpenFOAM open source CFD toolbox. Version 12 takes advantage of modular solvers and non-conformal coupling (NCC) to improve simulations with multiple regions, including simplifying meshing and coupling. Work has continued on the rewrite of particle code, e.g. injection and distribution, parallel decomposition, redistribution and load balancing. There are some new, useful boundary conditions and the option to include units, e.g. [bar], with input values, which are converted accordingly. The installation of third party software is easier, with the openfoam12 package for Ubuntu 24.04 & 22.04 now using the standard paraview package.
OpenFOAM 12 includes the following highlights.
  • Modular Solvers: support source terms for one variable for equations of other variables.
  • Multiphase: improved models for mass, momentum and heat transfer, and solid phases.
  • Turbulence Modelling: robust limiting of fields simplified and corrected wall functions.
  • Heat: added viscous heating model and improved naming in thermodynamic properties.
  • Particle Tracking: generalised injection and particle distributions.
  • Meshes: upgraded mesh generation and coupling of multiple mesh regions.
  • Parallel Running: efficient options for load-balancing, decomposition and redistribution.
  • Function Objects: moved to a system/functions file, and added new function objects.
  • Models: added volume and mass sources which are added to mass continuity.
  • Boundary Conditions: new pressure, velocity and temperature boundary conditions.
  • Case Configuration: parameters can include units, e.g. [bar].
  • Programming: foamFind script to search source code; example coded function objects.
  • Other: Easier installation of ParaView and decomposition libraries.
  • 722 code commits, 100+ resolved issues.
  • ISO/IEC 14882:2011 (C++14): tested for GCC v5.5+, Clang v16+ (v10+ should also work).
OpenFOAM 12 is packaged for the following platforms:
The OpenFOAM 12 Source Pack can be compiled on suitable Linux platforms.

► blueCFD-Core 2024-1 has been released
  19 Aug, 2024
Today we at FS Dynamics Portugal have released blueCFD-Core 2024-1, which provides OpenFOAM 12 as a native build for Windows, with OpenFOAM binaries acting as normal Windows applications.
This was possible thanks to our various sponsors, benefactors and donators!

The installer for blueCFD-Core 2024-1 is installed separately from older blueCFD-Core versions, therefore these installations can coexist.

Released elements are:
The source code provided for the port of OpenFOAM 12 has been released here, as well as of ThirdParty-12 here.
As mentioned above, the development infrastructure is based on MSYS2. As listed in the Funding page page, one of our objectives is to provide updates and builds of OpenFOAM via MSYS2 package manager, however this is not yet available with this release. That said, instructions are available on blueCFD-Coreโ€™s wiki on:
  1. Preparing a new MSYS2 installation for blueCFDโ€Core development
  2. Quick notes on how to update build
  3. Loose notes on building custom code
For a complete list of bug reports, issues and wishes that have been submitted to the blueCFD-Core project, see the Issue Tracker page. For example, a complete list of issues and tasks that were conducted for developing blueCFD-Core 2024-1, are available there: milestone blueCFD-Core 2024-1.


Disclaimers:
  • FS Dynamics Portugal is responsible for the development and maintenance of the blueCFDยฎ-Core project.
  • blueCFDยฎ is a registered trade mark of FS Dynamics Portugal.
  • FS Dynamics Portugal is an FS Dynamics company.
  • This offering is not approved or endorsed by OpenCFD Limited, producer and distributor of the OpenFOAM software via www.openfoam.com and owner of the OPENFOAMยฎ and OpenCFDยฎ trade marks.
  • FS Dynamics Portugal is a contributor to the OpenFOAM Foundation, but the majority of the specific modifications needed in the source code for running OpenFOAM natively on Windows, will not be accepted in the official releases of OpenFOAM by the OpenFOAM Foundation, mostly due to the maintenance overhead associated to supporting closed-source operating systems.

Numerical Modelling of Coupled Problems in Applied Physics with OpenFOAM (NUMAP-FOAM)
Summer School 2024 at the University of Cambridge, UK


Link: https://ccm.phy.cam.ac.uk/numap-foam-summer-school-2024

The Centre for Scientific Computing at the Department of Physics, The Cavendish Laboratory announces the 17th edition of the Summer School on Modelling of Coupled Problems in Applied Physics with OpenFOAM (NUMAP-FOAM) for graduate students and young researchers in Cambridge in September 2024. The Program Chairs are Professor Hrvoje Jasak (University of Cambridge, UK) and doc.dr. Tessa Uroic (University of Zagreb, Croatia).

Description

The School aims to provide tuition at expert level for a small and selected group of students and researchers in academia and industry. The idea of the NUMAP-FOAM School is to expand the physical modelling knowledge, numerics and programming skills of attendees using OpenFOAM in their research through direct supervision and one-to-one project work. Lectures on chosen topics of mathematical and numerical modelling pertinent to coupled problems in engineering and applied physics will be delivered in addition. For further references, please contact the organisers or one of more than 180 alumni of previous editions of the School.

To ensure quality of work and individual supervision, the number of places is strictly limited.

Place and Time: The Maxwell Building at the Cavendish Laboratory, West Cambridge

The 17th edition NUMAP-FOAM shall take place between Monday, 2 September 2024 and Friday, 13 September 2024, inclusive (10 working days). The School shall be held at the The Cavendish Laboratory, Department of Physics, (Maxwell Building), University of Cambridge, UK.

Topic Areas

Students are invited to propose their own topics for the School. Preference shall be given to project which require complex programming in OpenFOAM, advanced software design and implementation of complex / coupled physical models in OpenFOAM. Special topics for this year's Summer School include naval hydrodynamics CFD, multi-phase and free surface flows, exa-scale applications of implicit linear algebra, GPU for unstructured CFD, magneto-hydrodynamic applications and electro-chemistry in CFD.

How to Apply: NUMAP-FOAM Summer School 2024

To apply, please write a one-page description of the project you wish to work on, with current problems and goals to be achieved at the School. Application is open to all students on graduate University courses, as well as researchers in companies and government organisations with sufficient knowledge of OpenFOAM.

Please note this is NOT an introductory OpenFOAM course: significant understanding of the project and software is a pre-requisite for application.

Deadline for application is 15 May 2024. Successful candidates will be informed within two weeks of closing.

Accommodation and Costs

Attendees to the School should plan to cover their travel and accommodation expenses, ideally bringing a laptop computer with them. A registration fee for the School is GBP 2000 per attendee. It is recommended to look for accommodation at one of many Cambridge Colleges.

Contact Details

For further details and submission of project proposals, please contact prof. Hrvoje Jasak (hj348 (at) cam.ac.uk) or dr. Tessa Uroic (tessa.uroic (at) fsb.hr).
