Installation

How to install

You need first a working OpenFOAM installation on you computer.

Then, load the OpenFOAM environment, i.e. for example

source /opt/OpenFOAM-v2406/etc/bashrc

Then in the “porousMultiphaseFoam” directory, run

./Allwmake -j

to install the package (-j allow the parallel compilation).

The PMF dynamic libraries are compiled and stored in the standard OpenFOAM user directory

$FOAM_USER_LIBBIN

while the executable solvers are placed in the standard OpenFOAM user directory

$FOAM_USER_APPBIN.

Each tutorial directory contains “run” and “clean” files to test installation and validate the solver.
A python script runTutorials.py can be used to test all components.
To remove compilation and temporary files, run
```
./Allwclean --purge
```

–purge is optional and force the deletion of the executables and libraries.

Depending on your installation, you should switch to the github branch corresponding to your OpenFOAM version. If you use OpenFOAM-v2406 for example:

git checkout openfoam-v2406

Note that if you want to use the latest version of PMF, it is necessary to have a sufficiently recent installation of openfoam.

OpenFOAM-v11 and OpenFOAM-v12 are not supported currently, use OpenFOAM.com versions.

openfoam-v10 has errors when using postProcess/setSet in tutorials

Note that intermediate version (i.e. v1912, v2012v, v2112…) are not tested.
