About dualFuelEngine

OpenFOAM solver based on phenomenological compression model for dual-fuel ship engines. Check releases to view repository history and more detailed description.

Requirements

• OpenFOAM-dev (20200426 at least) or OpenFOAM v8

Usage

Installation

1. Set path to install and save it as OpenFOAM variable (optional, if OpenFOAM installed by default requires sudo)

   FOAM_ADD=$WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR/additions # ~/OpenFOAM/$USER-$WM_PROJECT_VERSION/additions/ by default
   mkdir -p $FOAM_ADD
   sudo sed -i "s+# Convenience+# Convenience\nexport FOAM_ADD=$FOAM_ADD+g" $WM_PROJECT_DIR/etc/config.sh/settings

2. To compile with OpenFOAM v8 or higher

   git clone https://github.com/StasF1/dualFuelEngine.git $FOAM_ADD/dualFuelEngine
   $FOAM_ADD/dualFuelEngine/solvers/./Allwmake

3. Add makeBackup script as a link to the OpenFOAM-?/bin

   sudo ln -s $FOAM_ADD/dualFuelEngine/etc/scripts/foamBackup $FOAM_APP/../bin/foamBackup

Run

• Run all cases

  wmake $FOAM_ADD/dualFuelEngine/tutorials/./Allclean && $FOAM_ADD/dualFuelEngine/tutorials/./Allrun

• ParaView .foam result file is created after running the Allrun script which is also a script that can rerun the current case
