OpenFOAM | openEuler

Current OpenFOAM container images are built on openEuler. This repository is free to use and exempted from per-user rate limits.

OpenFOAM is the free, open source CFD software developed primarily by OpenCFD Ltd since 2004. It has a large user base across most areas of engineering and science, from both commercial and academic organisations. OpenFOAM has an extensive range of features to solve anything from complex fluid flows involving chemical reactions, turbulence and heat transfer, to acoustics, solid mechanics and electromagnetics.

Supported tags and respective Dockerfile links

The tag of each openfoam docker image is consist of the version of OpenFOAM and the version of basic image. The details are as follows

Tag	Currently	Architectures
2506-oe2403sp2	openfoam 2506 on openEuler 24.03-LTS-SP2	amd64, arm64
2412-oe2403sp1	OpenFOAM 2412 on openEuler 24.03-LTS-SP1	amd64, arm64

Usage

Here, you can select the corresponding {Tag} by their requirements.

• Pull the openeuler/openfoam image from docker

  docker pull openeuler/openfoam:{Tag}
  

• Run and test a openfoam container

  docker run -it --rm openeuler/openfoam:{Tag}
  

  This will enter the path like this:

  /opt/OpenFOAM-v{VERSION}
  

  where VERSION is decided by Tag.

  Here, you can run the following command to test the container

  cd tutorials/incompressible/pisoFoam/LES/motorBike/motorBike
  ./Allrun
  

  It finishes successfully as follows:

  [root@7ae3c3cbfedf motorBike]# ./Allrun
  Running blockMesh on /opt/OpenFOAM-v2412/tutorials/incompressible/pisoFoam/LES/motorBike/motorBike
  Running decomposePar on /opt/OpenFOAM-v2412/tutorials/incompressible/pisoFoam/LES/motorBike/motorBike
  Running snappyHexMesh (8 processes) on /opt/OpenFOAM-v2412/tutorials/incompressible/pisoFoam/LES/motorBike/motorBike
  Restore 0/ from 0.orig/  [processor dirs]
  Running renumberMesh (8 processes) on /opt/OpenFOAM-v2412/tutorials/incompressible/pisoFoam/LES/motorBike/motorBike
  Running potentialFoam (8 processes) on /opt/OpenFOAM-v2412/tutorials/incompressible/pisoFoam/LES/motorBike/motorBike
  Running checkMesh (8 processes) on /opt/OpenFOAM-v2412/tutorials/incompressible/pisoFoam/LES/motorBike/motorBike
  Running simpleFoam (8 processes) on /opt/OpenFOAM-v2412/tutorials/incompressible/pisoFoam/LES/motorBike/motorBike
  

  Once the test is finished, you can check ExecutionTime in log.simpleFoam which represents the performance.
