This table should give a list of the field names commonly written by the OpenFOAM-Solver.

It was inspired by the discussion What's the meaning of variables in the computed results in the MessageBoard:


Fields written by OpenFOAM
Filename Description Dimension
U Velocity \frac{m}{s}
U_0 Velocity at previous timestep (needed for restarting higher order time-stepping schemes \frac{m}{s}
phi Flow through cell faces \frac{m^3}{s}
p Pressure \frac{m^2}{s^2}
epsilon Turbulence dissipation rate \frac{m^2}{s^3}
k Turbulence kinetic energy \frac{m^2}{s^2}
