OpenFOAM Experience? Anyone with Expertise?

AI Thread Summary
OpenFOAM primarily operates as a toolbox for C++, requiring users to engage with coding rather than relying on a graphical user interface like ANSYS Workbench. While it is not inherently GUI-based, there are third-party options available, such as Helyx and simFlow, that provide graphical interfaces for easier interaction. Users should be prepared for a programming-centric approach similar to that of ANSYS Classic. The discussion highlights the necessity of coding knowledge for effective use of OpenFOAM. Overall, familiarity with programming is essential for leveraging OpenFOAM's capabilities.

anyone with experience in this programm? I wanted to know if its running on GUI like ANSYS Workbench or i need to work with codes programming like in ANSYS Classic

OpenFOAM is a toolbox for C++ so you will need to use it in a fashion identical to programming in C++.
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
