QGDsolver library brief

To the contents

QGDsolver is OpenFOAM framework for simulation of fluid flows using regularized (QGD/QHD) equations approach. It contains library for approximation of partial derivatives at face centers of unstructured grids and a set of OpenFOAM solvers:

1. QGDFoam - solver for compressible viscous perfect gas flows in a wide Mach number range - from 0 to infinity
2. QHDFoam - solver for incompressible viscous fluid flows with buoyancy force
3. particlesQGDFOam - solver for compressible viscous perfect gas flows in a wide Mach number range with particles - from 0 to infinity
4. particlesQHDFoam - solver for incompressible viscous fluid flows with buoyancy force with particles
5. SRFQHDFoam - solver for incompressible viscous fluid flows in rotating frame of reference with buoyancy force
6. QHDDyMFoam - solver for incompressible viscous fluid flows in domains with deforming boundary and with buoyancy force
7. interQHDFoam - solver for incompressible 2-phase viscous fluid flows with buoyancy force and surface tension
8. reactingLagrangianQGDFoam - solver for reacting multicomponent compressible viscous perfect gas flows in a wide Mach number range with particles - from 0 to infinity
9. scalarTransportQHDFoam - solver for scalar transport equation to demonstrate the very basics of QGD/QHD equations principles
10. rhoQGDFoam - solver for compressible viscous flow with arbitrary equation of state (EoS) and in a wide Mach number range - from 0 to infinity

Brief description of the framework is presented here: https://github.com/unicfdlab/QGDsolver/blob/master/qgd-framework-2020-final.pdf

QGDsolver installation

To the contents

The repository is organized as follows:

• master branch is used for the Doxygen-generated documents (not finished yet) and last test report
• Next branches of the library correspond to OpenFOAM+ versions as follows:
  • digitef-dev-1912 for OpenFOAM+ v1912
  • digitef-dev-2012 for OpenFOAM+ v2012
  • digitef-dev-2112 for OpenFOAM+ v2112
  • v2212 for OpenFOAM+ v2212
  • v2312 for OpenFOAM+ v2312
• other branches are for internal use and are not intended for compilation

Source code of releases for OpenFOAM+ are stored in releases section, the naming conventions are the same as for repository's branches

To compile sources, run ./Allwmake

To clean sources, run ./Allwclean

To change libraries and binaries destination, run script SwitchDest: a) ./SwitchDest USER - this will set installation paths to $FOAM_USER_LIBBIN and $FOAM_USER_APPBIN; b) run ./SwitchDest - this will set installation paths to $FOAM_LIBBIN and $FOAM_APPBIN
