Core technology

To maintain generality and solve complex on real 3D cases, OpenFOAM uses
  • ‘Pseudo-staggered’ finite volume numerics
  • Implicit, pressure-velocity, iterative solution framework
  • 3D unstructured mesh of polyhedral cells
  • Domain decomposition parallelism
    • robust, integrated at a low level
    • no ’parallel-specific’ coding required
