OpenFoam Project

Repository for an OpenFoam project on the simulation of the breaking wave flow which caused the displacement of a 50t concrete block at the Artha breakwater in 2017.

Structure

Bathymetry

The bathymetry directory contains the raw data and a tool that allows to generate the stl files necessary for the OpenFoam model.

Usage:

python -m generate

OpenFoam

The openfoam directory contains the OpenFoam configuration files and a utility that copies the configuration and runs the olaFlow model.

Usage:

python -m run

Post-process

The post_process directory provides a utility for plotting an animation of the simulation.

Usage:

python -m animate alpha.water

Requirements

The required Python packages are listed in the requirements.txt file. Run pip install -r requirements.txt to install all the required packages.

Other requirements include OpenFoam and the olaFlow model, as well as OpenScad for the stl files generation.
