For people who are working or are interested in the field of multiphase flow with phase change.

The founding of this group was discussed and decided on the OpenFOAM® Stammtisch Germany 'Mitte' on September 24th, 2010, in the 'hybrid RANS/LES' bof session.The aim of this working group is to get users and developers interested in Detached-Eddy Simulation (DES) together and achieve a correct DES implementation in OpenFOAM® and a common understanding of the method.Furthermore, the already established contacts, working groups and results required a common platform to be able to focus on our goals.Finally, testcases, best-practice guidelines and an improved documentation are needed.

Installation of the OpenFOAM® CFD toolbox

The working group focuses on the development of a robust and versatile multiphase solve based on the Euler-Euler multi-fluid approach.Current applications of interest are the simulation of bubble columns and dense gas-particle flows, with granular phases described by means of the kinetic theory approach and frictional models.Starting point of the development is the existing twoPhaseEulerFoam solver, which will be modified to improve its robustness and then generalized to deal with an arbitrary number of dispersed phases. Further development will include the addition of quadrature-based methods to deal with particle/bubble size distribution.

The LTFD research group is situated at Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (COPPE/UFRJ), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The group interest is on CFD code development using OpenFOAM® core. The development of codes follow the main LTFD research areas: Multiphase Flow, Population Balance & CFD, Viscoelastic Fluid Flow, High Performance Computing.

At the Stammtisch United at Dortmund 2011, we noticed, that it is not clear, if the current version has an adequate "automatic" wall function, or if there are better solutions. Within this group we want to test wall functions and exchange suitable test cases.

All users which use OpenFOAM® for optimization are welcome!

Diese Gruppe soll den Beschlüssen vom OpenFOAM®-Stammtisch United (Kick-Off) am 23./24.2.2011 an der TU Dortmund zur Zukunft des OpenFOAM®-Stammtisch United Rechnung tragen.Der kick-off des OpenFOAM®-Stammtisch 'united' war ein erfreulicher Erfolg und es gab einige Beschlüsse zum weiteren Verlauf des OpenFOAM®-Stammtisch 'united':In der Diskussionsrunde 'Stammtisch United - Zukunft des gemeinsamen Stammtisch / Organisation?' hat sich ein positive Stimmungsbild ergeben. Es ist beschlossen worden, einen Stammtisch United im nächsten Jahr wieder stattfinden zu lassen.Eine Anbindung an ProcessNet wird weiterhin favorisiert und kann bei besserer 'Vermarktung' des Stammtisches zu einer größeren Teilnehmerzahl führen.Ein Turnus von 1x/Jahr für den Stammtisch United wurde von allen befürwortet.Form und Art der Veranstaltung wird beibehalten wie bei allen Stammtischen.In dieser Gruppe soll alles rund um diesen jährlichen Stammtisch diskutiert werden.
