foamMesh

grid generation for OpenFOAM

foamMesh is a stand-alone program and an extension of the geometry package developed for the Eilmer compressible-flow simulation program. It allows gas flow and solid domains, generated using the Eilmer geometry package, to be converted into grids suitable for OpenFOAM simulations.

The generation of OpenFOAM grids is achieved by adding an extra step to the Lua scripts, used to convert the 2D and 3D grids of finite volume cells into corresponding foam meshes. At the same stage labels are assigned to the outward facing edges in the (x,y)-plane for 2D grids, or outward facing patches for 3D grids, which allow definition of the OpenFoam boundary conditions.
