Detailed Description

Loads and executes an OpenFOAM solver module either specified by the optional solver entry in the controlDict or as a command-line argument.

Original source file foamRun.C

Uses the flexible PIMPLE (PISO-SIMPLE) solution for time-resolved and pseudo-transient and steady simulations.

Usage

foamRun [OPTION]

• -solver

  Solver name

• -libs '("lib1.so" ... "libN.so")'

  Specify the additional libraries loaded

  Example usage:
• To run a rhoPimpleFoam case by specifying the solver on the command line:

          foamRun -solver fluid

• To update and run a rhoPimpleFoam case add the following entries to the controlDict:

          application     foamRun;
  
          solver          fluid;

  then execute foamRun
