Excerpt

OpenFOAM is a popular open-source Computational Fluid Dynamics toolkit written in C++ and based on the finite volume method.


Currently, there are only a few flavours/versions of OpenFOAM installed bare-metal on Setonix. You can identify those versions as their module do not contain the word "container" as part of the name. These bare-metal installations can be accessed by loading their modules with the usual syntax:

...

$

...

module

...

load

...

openfoam/<version>

or

...

$

...

module

...

load

...

openfoam-org/<version>

where the -org suffix is for the OpenFOAM Foundation flavour, and the plain name is for the ESI flavour.

Some other flavours/versions of OpenFOAM are only provided as containerised installations of the two main developments of OpenFOAM, which are available as modules using the following syntax:

...

$

...

module

...

load

...

openfoam-container/<version>

or

...

$

...

module

...

load

...

openfoam-org-container/<version>

(These containerised modules will load automatically the singularity module with MPI capabilities.)


The available modules can be listed with module avail openfoam command.
