NUMAP-FOAM Summer School 2010 Group Forum: A group for attendees of the 2010 Summer School in Zagreb.

Detached-Eddy Simulation Group Forum: The founding of this group was discussed and decided on the OpenFOAM® Stammtisch Germany 'Mitte' on September 24th, 2010.

Details will follow...

Euler-Euler multifluid approach Group Forum: The working group focuses on the development of a robust and versatile multiphase solve based on the Euler-Euler multi-fluid approach.

Current applications of interest are the simulation of bubble columns and dense gas-particle flows, with granular phases described by means of the kinetic theory approach and frictional models.

Starting point of the development is the existing twoPhaseEulerFoam solver, which will be modified to improve its robustness and then generalized to deal with an arbitrary number of dispersed phases.
Further development will include the addition of quadrature-based methods to deal with particle/bubble size distribution.

LTFD OpenFOAM® Group Group Forum: The LTFD research group is situated at Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (COPPE/UFRJ), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The group interest is on CFD code development using OpenFOAM® core. The development of codes follow the main LTFD research areas: Multiphase Flow, Population Balance & CFD, Viscoelastic Fluid Flow, High Performance Computation.

Wall Function Group Forum: At the Stammtisch United at Dortmund 2011, we noticed, that it is not clear, if the current version has an adequate "automatic" wall function, or if there are better solutions.
Within this group we want to test wall functions and exchange suitable test cases.

Stammtisch united Group Forum: Diese Gruppe soll den Beschlüssen vom OpenFOAM®-Stammtisch United (Kick-Off) am 23./24.2.2011 an der TU Dortmund zur Zukunft des OpenFOAM®-Stammtisch United Rechnung tragen.

Der kick-off des OpenFOAM®-Stammtisch 'united' war ein erfreulicher Erfolg und es
gab einige Beschlüsse zum weiteren Verlauf des OpenFOAM®-Stammtisch 'united':

In der Diskussionsrunde 'Stammtisch United - Zukunft des gemeinsamen Stammtisch / Organisation?' hat sich ein positive Stimmungsbild ergeben. Es ist
beschlossen worden, einen Stammtisch United im nächsten Jahr wieder stattfinden zu lassen.

Eine Anbindung an ProcessNet wird weiterhin favorisiert und kann bei besserer
'Vermarktung' des Stammtisches zu einer größeren Teilnehmerzahl führen.

Ein Turnus von 1x/Jahr für den Stammtisch United wurde von allen befürwortet.

Form und Art der Veranstaltung wird beibehalten wie bei allen Stammtischen.

In dieser Gruppe soll alles rund um diesen jährlichen Stammtisch diskutiert werden.

time integration schemes in Openfoamextend Group Forum: Hello Openfoam extend users,
I have used OF and I am aware of the Euler implicit, backward differencing scheme, Crank Nicholson scheme of OF.
But I would like to know if there is an Third order TVD Runge kutta scheme available in OF or OF extend.
Please let me know if it is possible to implement it in OF with less manipulation of the code.
regards
K.SUresh kumar

Dutch OpenFOAM® User Group Group Forum: The Dutch OpenFOAM® User Group has been created in 2010 and has had lively meetings twice a year ever since. Each meeting is attended by some 40 OpenFOAM® users working in the Netherlands. More information can be found on www.dutchopenfoamusers.nl.

Acceleration of OpenFOAM® on GPUs Group Forum: Dear OpenFOAM® Users,

OpenFOAM® simulations take a significant amount of time leading to higher costs of simulations. GPU technology has a potential to reduce the time.

There are a few solutions on the market such as ofgpu or SpeedIT. Which one do you prefer? What are their limitations?

Do you think OpenFOAM® community could benefit from GPU technology?

All-Speed Multiphase Thermofluids Group Forum: This group will focus in developing an All-Speed or Mach-uniform multiphase themofludic code using OpenFOAM® as its platform technology. Such development work has been ongoing for a couple of years but now with independence and special focus for Lean Premixed and Prevaporised (LPP) Gas Turbine combustion application.

The code utilises a modified 8-equation Saurel-Abgrall (1999) multi-phase and multi-fluid model with a hybrid density-pressure based solver as in Xisto et al (2011).

Improvements to attain more accurate EOS to capture some flow features such as flash evaporation of multicomponent fuels (JP8) is underway. A more challenging issue of predicting primary atomisation will be considered soon.
