I 'm studying OpenFOAM now.
I wonder that there is nothing the loop
do i=0,nx
do j=0,ny
do k=0,nz

in turbuFoam source code in $FOAM_APP/solvers/turbFoam.

Please teach me where the loop
the loop
do i=0,nx
do j=0,ny
do k=0,nz

in the OpenFOAM Source code ?

Regards, yoshi

Hi Yoshi,
OpenFOAM is a fully unstructured code, as a consequence there is no direct relation between cells and the principal directions of the coordinate system. You might want to take a look at the programmer's guide, page 29 and following for some more detail.

Best,

Best,

Thank you for your replying, Verdana

I understand that OpenFoam solver is unstructured meshed solver.

But , I want to know,

Which routine does it process the unstructured mesh for the solver ?

Regards, Yoshi
