Application
    foamMultiRun
 
Description
    Loads and executes an OpenFOAM solver modules for each region of a
    multiregion simulation e.g. for conjugate heat transfer.
 
    The region solvers are specified in the \c regionSolvers dictionary entry in
    \c controlDict, containing a list of pairs of region and solver names,
    e.g. for a two region case with one fluid region named
    liquid and one solid region named tubeWall:
    \verbatim
        regionSolvers
        {
            liquid          fluid;
            tubeWall        solid;
        }
    \endverbatim
 
    The \c regionSolvers entry is a dictionary to support name substitutions to
    simplify the specification of a single solver type for a set of
    regions, e.g.
    \verbatim
        fluidSolver     fluid;
        solidSolver     solid;
 
        regionSolvers
        {
            tube1             $fluidSolver;
            tubeWall1         solid;
            tube2             $fluidSolver;
            tubeWall2         solid;
            tube3             $fluidSolver;
            tubeWall3         solid;
        }
    \endverbatim
 
    Uses the flexible PIMPLE (PISO-SIMPLE) solution for time-resolved and
    pseudo-transient and steady simulations.
 
Usage
    \b foamMultiRun [OPTION]
 
      - \par -libs '(\"lib1.so\" ... \"libN.so\")'
        Specify the additional libraries loaded
 
    Example usage:
      - To update and run a \c chtMultiRegion case add the following entries to
        the controlDict:
        \verbatim
            application     foamMultiRun;
 
            regionSolvers
            {
                fluid           fluid;
                solid           solid;
            }
        \endverbatim
        then execute \c foamMultiRun
