Development objectives

• Develop the ports for OF3.0 solves
• Implement method of classes (MOC)
• Implement quadrature method of moments (QMOM)
• Develop consistent testing framework

Build

Requirements

• CMake version 2.6 or higher
• Eigen 3
• googletest (development optional)
• benchmark (development optional)

Basic

# Clone the project
# Load OpenFOAM environment

cd <project_dir>
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../
make # alternatively make -j 4 for parallell build

Development

# Clone the project
# Load OpenFOAM environment

cd <project_dir>

# Donload benchmark
git submodule init
git submodule update 

# Build the project
mkdir build
cd build
ccmake ../  # Alternatively cmake with appropriate options
# Configure require options
make # alternatively make -j 4 for parallell build

Usage

The current version uses canonical twoPhaseEulerFoam. The only necessary change is to include

libs ("libPBE.so")

in your controlDict. See tests/validation/ for example usages against some known experimental cases.
