Sažetak
The current focus of development in industrial Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is integra- tion of CFD into Computer-Aided product develop- ment, geometrical optimisation, robust design and similar. On the other hand, in CFD research aims to extend the boundaries of practical engineering use in “non-traditional” areas. Requirements of compu- tational flexibility and code integration are contra- dictory: a change of coding paradigm, with object orientation, library components, equation mimick- ing is proposed as a way forward. This paper describes OpenFOAM, a C++ object- oriented library for Computational Continuum Me- chanics (CCM) developed by the author. Efficient and flexible implementation of complex physical models is achieved by mimicking the form of par- tial differential equation in software, with code functionality provided in library form. Open Source deployment and development model allows the user to achieve desired versatility in physical modelling without the sacrifice of complex geometry support and execution efficiency.
