Hi
I am a new OpenFoam user already have practiced the dambreak example. Now I am looking to stimulate The wave force due to tsunami on a coastal dyke. Please advice me how I can do that? Which tutorial I need to practice and what are the solvers I need to have a look? please direct me in the right direction.

Hi aji,

you can try olaFoam. You have a breakwater example in which you can change the boundary conditions to generate a solitary wave easily:

Thank you very much phicau

Hi what is the code for run the solver and what is the solver for basewave flume? to practice the tutorial 1) I run the blockmesh 2) setfields
how to run the simulation? (I was just tried it like dambreak example).

[Phicau]

Dear Aji,

I suggest that you read the olaFoam wiki site, it will answer some of your questions and help you to progress:

https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Contrib/OLAFOAM

For your reference, there is also a compiling guide here:

https://sites.google.com/site/olafoamcfd/source-code

What you need to do is, source OpenFOAM and compile the code, then every time that you source OpenFOAM, the solvers olaFoam and olaDyMFoam will be available.

The github release also includes tutorials. You need to choose the version of the tutorials according to the version of OpenFOAM that you have installed, this is very important because at some point alpha1 changed to alpha.water, so old tutorials do not run with the new versions.

All the tutorials include a runCase script with all the instructions necessary to run the case; they also include a cleanCase script to reset the case into the small size example.

Please read the wiki and look for answers in the olaFoam Thread ( The OLAFOAM Thread ) before asking, most of the times your questions have already been solved and you will get going immediately.

Best,

Pablo

Hi Phicau
I am stuck in this.
1) I could not set it up initially. it is showing when I compile in the base folder. please see the error message.

2) how to find my openfoam version? ( I am a windows user using blucfd core OpenFoam-4.x=> which version of tutorial can I use?

[Phicau]

Hi Aji,

the problem is that the code is not compatible with the windows version. As far as I know it can only be compiled under Linux and Mac.

Nevertheless, I remember the guys from bluecfd adapting ihfoam some versions ago. You can take a look at their efforts here:

https://github.com/phicau/IHFOAM/network

and check if you can make the appropriate changes for it to compile.

Best,

Pablo
