Hi all,

I recently got OpenFOAM up and running on my Ubuntu OS. I really like this program. Are you a user and if so what do you think of the program?

Thanks
Matt
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
OpenFOAM is on my list of things to play with. Did you run into any problems getting it running? What hardware are you using?
 
I got it running without any trouble. Great program, once you get use to it. I am using a Windows 7 x64 CORE i7 processor with 6 gigs of RAM. Works well for simple problems.
 
I am also using openfoam, especially multiphase solvers for cavitation simulation ...we can contact if someone is interested with this topic.
 

Thread 'A practical way to vaporize fuel for high MPG?'

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
