Hi All,

Happy to announce the release of blastFoam - a new solver for multi-component compressible flow with application to high explosive detonation, explosive safety and protective design. A user guide as well as multiple tutorial and validation cases are included.

https://github.com/synthetik-technologies/blastfoam

The solver features:

blastFoam currently supports the following features:

• An arbitrary number of phases/EOS's
• JLW equation of state with constant, linear, and "Miller" afterburn models
• Multiple example and tutorial cases
• Automatic mesh refinement (AMR)
• Single and multi-point detonation
• High-order (1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th order in time; 2nd and 3rd order spatial)
• HLLC, AUSM+, Kurganov, Tadmor flux schemes
• Parallel
• Compatible with all of OpenFOAM's standard mesh generation, pre- and post-processing utilities; enhanced version of setFields to refine around material boundaries when initialized

blastFoam includes the following equations of state:

• Jones Wilkens Lee (JWL) (with afterburn)
• Ideal Gas
• Stiffened Gas
• Cochran-Chan
• Tait

Hi Peter,


I will add the "blastFoam" prefix to the Community forum.


Thanks for sharing.
