A Load-balanced adaptive mesh refinement for OpenFOAM

H2 injection case

Free-propagating flame case

This repository extracts library parts from blastFoam which are relevant to load-balanced adaptive mesh refinement for polyhedral meshes while retaining the original commit history; this is not intended as a full port! Only tested features are to be trusted. !!WIP!!

To get started, you can visit the one and only wiki page.

Objectives

• Have a reasonable Load-balanced AMR for 2D/3D OpenFOAM meshes in the ESI fork.
• Support load balancing of Lagrangian particle clouds (not yet implemented).
• Make it easy to include this lib in other projects through submodules/subtrees.

blastFoam is GPL licensed; see the included (original) COPYING.

Quick Notes

• Everything compiles to your $FOAM_USER_LIBBIN with a recent ESI (openfoam.com) version.
• Our favorite refinement cell selector is the coded. Although a wide range of selectors is provided, they are not well tested. So, use the coded refinement whenever possible.
