Steady-state MultiPhase Sim #143

Closed finnBsch closed 10 months ago

finnBsch commented 10 months ago

Hi, I am trying to get a steadystate solution in a multiphase simulation. I know that interfoam does not support real steady state solutions, however according to this https://openfoam.org/release/2-0-0/steady-state-vof/ , the local-time stepping method can get good results for pseudo steady state solution. Is there a way to get something similar using CfdOF?

You may be able to edit the OpenFOAM files generated by cfdOF. I'm a beginner so I don't know exactly what to do either. The cfdOF forum is a good place to ask this question. https://forum.freecad.org/viewforum.php?f=37

CfdOF doesn't support this, but as @sstevenson638 says, you can always use it to generate a starting case for further modification.
