Hi,

Can someone explain the differences between the three different methods in decomposeParDict?

What will be the rules to partition the computational domain? Any special thing about domain with interfaces (interFoam)?

Thanks!

I find Metis to be the simplest method to get started. The objective of Metis is to distribute the load evenly (default setting) with minimal inter-processor communication.
