Hi,

I would like to ask if I can use icoFoam solver with MRF zones? So far I have tried to set up a simple case (I've tried to re-write the mixerVessel2D case), but without any success so far and I'm starting to question if it's possible to use the icoFoam solver with MRF zones.

Furthermore, is it possible to check with which solvers I can use the MRF zones? Or shall I directly look into the code?

Thank you in advance!
Gabor

Quick answers:
  1. icoFoam is a very basic solver. It's mainly a solver for training. In particular, it's used for training modifying a solver, e.g.: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Ho...ure_to_icoFoam
    • If you want, you can trying adding "fvOptions" to icoFoam yourself
  2. In principle, you can find which solvers can use "fvOptions" by running this command:
    Code:
    find $FOAM_SOLVERS -name "*.C" -type f | xargs grep -sl fvOptions
    Nonetheless, you might pick up some solver-related libraries that use it as well.
