PDF TOOLBOX V8 CODE
Approximately 710 code commits, 200+ resolved issues.Computation: better data I/O, field caching, support for Arm processors.


Case Configuration: new configuration/initialisation tools, coded Function1.Function Objects: improved visualization/field, residence time and configuration.Mesh: improved snappyHexMesh and blockMesh, face centre calculation, cyclic patches.Other models: transient/steady-state solvers, boundary conditions, reactions.Particle tracking: renamed uncoupled solvers, improved tracking efficiency, injection.Heat transfer: better numerics and case setup, new thermal comfort modelling.Surface Film: huge performance improvements and better surface handling.Thermophysical: thermodynamics and equation of state models, data input, refactoring.Transport: new MomentumTransportModels and ThermophysicalTransportModels libraries.Reacting multiphase: consolidated multiphaseEulerFoam solver and model development.Multiphase: selectable interpolation for interface-capturing, PLIC scheme.OpenFOAM 8 includes the following key developments.

It provides new functionality and major improvements to existing code, with strict demands on usability, robustness and extensibility. Version 8 is a snapshot of the OpenFOAM development version which, through sustainable development, is always-releasable. The OpenFOAM Foundation is pleased to announce the release of version 8 of the OpenFOAM open source CFD toolbox.
