Introduction

This page is dedicated to tracking the tutorial cases that are known to be working on each version of blueCFD-Core, when compared to the same tutorials using the official OpenFOAM version running on Linux.

For older versions of blueCFD-Core (2.0, 2.1 and 2.3), please refer to the following page: KnownWorkingTutorials at blueCFD-SingleCore Wiki

Versions:

• blueCFD-Core 2024-1
• blueCFD-Core 2020-1
• blueCFD-Core 2017-2
• blueCFD-Core 2017-1
• blueCFD-Core 2016-2
• blueCFD-Core 2016-1

blueCFD-Core 2024-1

1. Almost all tutorial cases run without problems and seem to give identical results (comparison was done manually between log files for a few tutorial cases).

2. However, even though support for long file and folder paths for building source code has been improved in this version, some tutorial cases will require very long folder names (e.g. multiphaseEuler/pipeBend). If you are using a Windows version that does not support old 8.3 naming protocol (e.g. Windows Server does not have this turned on by default), then see the instructions to turn on this feature, as documented here: Q&A #253 - Enabling support for the old 8.3 filename and extension format

3. Exceptions, namely tutorials which have failed:

   a. compressibleVoF/depthCharge2D crashes due to temperatures going below 100K. Unclear if due to a specific compiler optimization. See Issue #256 for more details.

   b. multiRegion/CHT/notchedRoller and multiphaseEuler/titaniaSynthesis* may crash due to failing to communicate with MS-MPI's SMPD, but so far it only has happened when using one of our internal testing loops. It works well when running manually and when using OpenFOAM's Alltest script.
