    Hello all,

    I found this software recently and I think it looks very good. Basically it is what I was looking for.

    Both precompiled versions and source from git (compiled using GNU make) run fine on my Gentoo box. Am I right there is no source code available for WAMer but only for the solver?

    My aim is to couple OpenWAM against OpenFOAM as is seems to be done for Fluent. Maybe there is some work already done?

    I am also interested in that. Anyone could help?

    I know people that connected OpenWAM and Fluent some time ago and it worked. I think that both codes share a boundary conditions and exchange the information through a file. Anyway, I am not an expert in Fluent or OpenFOAM and I don’t know the modification that the code need to do correctly the communication between both tools.

    One way that can be used to connect OpenFOAM and OpenWAM is to use, as it was used with Fluent, a file for exchanging information between both processes. OpenWAM could generate fluxes in the connection and OpenFOAM impose the average pressure, temperature and speed at its boundary, or even the other way around. So, as a first step, you should write to a file the average pressure, temperature and speed of your connection in OpenFOAM.

    Are you still interested in this connection? I don’t have a lot of spare time, but if you are not in a hurry, we could collaborate to generate the coupling code.
