OpenFOAM User Directory

  • Each OpenFOAM user has his own working directory for running his projects
  • The path to user working directory is behind system variable:
    WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR
  • Typically: WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR=$HOME/OpenFOAM/{USER}-dev
  • You can test where exactly your working directory is located in your computer, type:
    # echo $WM_PROJECT_USER_DIR
  • User directory is connected to the current OpenFOAM installation via system variables
  • User directory is usually being used for running simulations, storing CFD data, code modifications, etc. …
  • User’s own modifications do not affect the current OpenFOAM installation, user’s modifications take the effect just for himself
  • It is useful to create the same structure in the user directory as it is in directory $WM_PROJECT_DIR
  • Following table shows selected system variables and aliases connected with user directory

turbulentMixingLengthDissipationRateInlet

The widely used boundary condition for $ \color{white} \omega$ in rotating machinery inlet is turbulentMixingLengthDissipationRateInlet. omega: 
 boundaryField
 {
".*_inlet"
    {
        type            compressible::turbulentMixingLengthDissipationRateInlet;
        mixingLength    0.1;
        phi             phi;
        k               k;
        value           $internalField;
    }
 }
For internal flows the parameter mixingLength is recommended to be equal to hydrostatic diameter of the pipe.
