I have now understood all the files stored in case directory of Dam Break Tutorial and others similar tutorial. Syntax used for initial/boundary conditions, constant properties and system. However I am finding it hard to understand the source file & files stored in solver's application folder.



Most tutorials and User's guide focuses mainly on the case files. I am expected to write my own solver based on inter-foam solver.


Could you kindly suggest an efficient way to understand these codes and files? Any Available resources, webpages links, tutorials that mainly focuses in understanding source code for interfoam or others in general.


Thanks

There are resources on the internet that you can search for. Fundamentally understanding pisoFoam and simpleFoam will probably help the most. Look through those solvers and then try to make sense of them before jumping into interFoam, as that solver is a bit more advanced. The PISO and SIMPLE solvers make up most of everything else and they solve the NSE.

I also assume you know vector calculus, matrices, linear algebra, differential equations, and have some basic understanding of fluid dynamics. You also need to know C++ and object oriented programming. Your question is too broad by the way. It helps others if you ask specific questions on what you wanted to modify.
