OpenFOAM® v3.0+: Updated documentation
13/01/2016
Solver help
In previous versions, the foamHelp utility provided help about boundaries and function objects. In this release, it has been extended to include OpenFOAM solvers.
The utility operates in two modes:
- With no additional arguments e.g. foamHelp solverCreate time
Create mesh for time = 0
Found doxygen help in $WM_PROJECT_DIR/doc/Doxygen/html
Valid types include:

DPMFoam
LTSInterFoam
LTSReactingFoam
LTSReactingParcelFoam
LTSSprayParcelFoam
MPPICFoam
PDRFoam
SRFPimpleFoam
SRFSimpleFoam
XiFoam
...
) - If specific help is required, e.g.: for the potentialFoam solver, the Doxygen
help can be invoked by issuing the command foamHelp solver -browse potentialFoam
Updates to the Doxygen documentation
The Doxygen-generated source code documentation has received many updates, including improved function object and solver documentation.
From the Modules tab on the guide information can now be accessed for:
- Boundary conditions
- Function objects
- Region boundary conditions
- Turbulence
- Solvers
The new Solvers section provides a top-level list of all available solvers:
Following, e.g. the Incompressible flow solvers link leads to a summary of all incompressible solvers:
Following, e.g. the icoFoam.C link leads to the documentation for the icoFoam solver.
