He'll teach you how to pick and choose

And how to throw the blade.

A How-To is a text that tells you "how to do something". (So far this is an unstructured list. If there is enough stuff it will get a structure).

So far the How-Tos will be sorted by their completion status

1 How-Tos that can be of help

These How-Tos are in a finished state. In other words: their authors think, that there is not much that can be improved.

1.1 Install

• Browsing the documentation while offline

• Install Virtual Machines with VMware Player

• Integrating the Doxygen-documentation as a seach engine in Firefox

• OpenFOAM and Subversion

• Port Utilities from older versions of OpenFOAM to version 1.3

• HowTo use Doxygen with OpenFOAM

• How to use Armadillo in OpenFOAM

1.2 Pre-process

• Opensource meshing and conversion

• Import a fluent mesh with interfaces

• Write OpenFOAM meshes

• How to quickly change the mesh with blockMesh

• Setting up dynamic mesh cases

1.3 Post-process

• How to clip the mesh in paraFoam

• How to postprocess multiple regions.

• How to post-process multiphase results

• HowTo Post-process results for particle based methods

• HowTo use particle tracer in paraFoam

1.4 Program with OpenFOAM

• Adding a new boundary condition

• How to add a Coriolis Force and Make a Tornado

• How to add temperature to icoFoam
  • How to add transport of N solutes to icoFoam

• General debugging tips

• General profiling tips

1.5 Use IDEs

• HowTo Use OpenFOAM with QtCreator

• Eclipse for OpenFOAM

• Kdevelop for OpenFOAM

• Configuring OpenFOAM with the NetBeans IDE

• How to prepare XEmacs/Emacs for the correct indentation

1.6 Miscellaneous

• How to Check if RAM and CPU are OK

2 How-Tos that are only planned/fragments

If you feel like writing these: go ahead (but before you do: move them to the next section)

• Adding a new solver to FoamX

• Adding a new wall-function.

• Adding a new transport equation to a solver

• Using the WaveTransmissiveBoundaryCondition

3 How-Tos that are being worked on

These How-Tos have found someone who wants to write them. After completion they will be moved to the top section.

• Importing a FLUENT mesh with internal walls

• How to calculate mass flux with a variable density flow

• Get help on the Message Board
