Bugs on OpenFOAM's bug tracker I wanted to tackle, but never managed to find the time for it - wyldckat/wyldckat.github.io GitHub Wiki

The following is a list of interesting bugs I wanted to try and have a look into them, but ended up not having time to look into them. I'm leaving them here as an aside wiki page, just in case someone else wants to pick them back up again.

OK, I did a bit of looking into this and here's what I've seen so far:

1- The tutorial "multiphase/interDyMFoam/ras/floatingObject" can be used for testing this, since it has the field "pointDisplacement", which is critical for the proper operation of the simulation.
    Side note: Never forget that coding without unit tests is... well... not safe :)

    Steps:
      decomposePar

      #change core count

      redistributePar

2- There are a lot of mappings that need to be done in several places!!!
  1. http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/openfoam-installation/162866-openfoam-using-environment-modules-hpc.html#post574413
    • modules load/unload support?
  2. checkMesh should have AMI checking...
  3. yPlus with stress based calculation
  4. http://www.openfoam.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=1944
  5. Related to http://bugs.openfoam.org/view.php?id=2353:
    From the perspective of generalization, we should extend the current 'fieldMinMax' and 'fieldAverage' (and other field* function objects) to also support per-patch calculations and therefore drop the current min/max/avg feature from the yPlus function object. This would also allow for a bit more refined control on when this should be shown on standard output.

    Furthermore, yPlus, wallShearStress, wallHeatFlux are all in the same boat... the 3 need patch operations of min, max, avg and sum/integral values.
