Installation

Compiling from source with supported OpenFOAM (last ESI version)

You need OpenFOAM-v2312 to build the executable. SedFoam versions released after SedFoam-3.3 will be named accordingly to OpenFOAM ESI versions. Currently the latest version is SedFoam-2312.

• First go to the download page of the software
• Install OpenFOAM.

To take full advantage of SedFoam the following additional tools should be installed.

• swak4Foam extension combines many fonctionalities and is needed for the tutorials

• Python usually comes pre-installed in Linux. However, if not installed or if you need a specific version, you can install Python with the following command:

  sudo apt install python3
  

• the python package fluidfoam is needed for postprocessing of the tutorials.

Compilation is now done by performing the following steps:

1. Download the official SedFoam package:

   git clone --recurse-submodules http://github.com/sedfoam/sedfoam
   

2. Compile the program by running Allwmake:

   cd sedfoam
   source $FOAM_ETC/bashrc # load the openfoam environment
   ./Allwmake
   

   The program should compile without problems and the binary sedFoam_rbgh and associated libraries should be available in the $FOAM_USER_APPBIN and $FOAM_USER_LIBBIN directories.

Don't install sedFoam and use the latest sedFoam docker
