fluid properties in OpenFoam

denis08 · April 14, 2023, 10:04

Hello everyone,

I am using interFoam and running the DTCHull tutorial.

I would like to know which fluid properties are used in tutorial, such as density for the 2 fluids. Does a file contains those informations?

Thank you for your help,

Denis

The properties of the fluids and other model parameters are usually located in the constant folder.

Depending on the OpenFOAM-Version you are using, this might be located in different files. In OpenFOAM 10, it will be located in constant/physicalProperties.water and .air

A short search for this tutorial and you find this kind of information for ESI is located in the constant/transportProperties file.
