Yes If above answer is no, provide end year model development Code development status When did you indicate the 'code development status'? Model availability As code Source code availability (Or provide future intension) Through web repository Source web address http://www.openfoam.org/download/ Source csdms web address Program license type GPL v3 Program license type other Memory requirements -- Typical run time -- Describe input parameters OpenFOAM needs to read a range of data structures such as strings, scalars, vectors, tensors, lists and fields. The input/output (I/O) format of files is designed to be extremely flexible to enable the user to modify the I/O in OpenFOAM applications as easily as possible. See also user manual Input format ASCII, Binary Other input format Describe output parameters See user manual Output format ASCII, Binary Other output format Pre-processing software needed? No Describe pre-processing software Post-processing software needed? No Describe post-processing software Visualization software needed? No If above answer is yes Other visualization software Describe processes represented by the model -- Describe key physical parameters and equations -- Describe length scale and resolution constraints -- Describe time scale and resolution constraints -- Describe any numerical limitations and issues -- Describe available calibration data sets -- Upload calibration data sets if available: Describe available test data sets -- Upload test data sets if available: Describe ideal data for testing -- Do you have current or future plans for collaborating with other researchers? Is there a manual available? Yes Upload manual if available: Media:OpenFOAM-UserGuide-V2.1.0.pdf Model website if any http://www.openfoam.org Model forum / discussion board http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/openfoam/ Comments This part will be filled out by CSDMS staff OpenMI compliant No but possible BMI compliant No but possible WMT component No but possible PyMT component Is this a data component Can be coupled with:
