+$HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-<VERSION>/etc/

+<li>
+where <VERSION> corresponds to the version 1.4, 1.5, …

+EITHER, if running bash or ksh (if in doubt type 'echo $SHELL'), source the

+<li>
+. $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-<VERSION>/etc/bashrc

+calculations are planned.
+</p>
+<p>
+The environment variable 'FOAM_INST_DIR' can be used to find and source the

+<h2 id="sec-4">4 Building from Sources (Optional)</h2>
+<div id="text-4">
+
+<p>If you cannot find an appropriate binary pack for your platform, you can build
+the complete OpenFOAM from the source-pack. You will first need to compile or
+obtain a recent version of gcc (we recomend gcc-4.3.?) for your platform,
+which may be obtained from <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/">http://gcc.gnu.org/</a>.
+</p>
+<p>
+Install the compiler in
+$WM_PROJECT_INST_DIR/ThirdParty/gcc-<GCC_VERSION>/platforms/$WM_ARCH$WM_COMPILER_ARCH/
+and change the gcc version number in $WM_PROJECT_DIR/etc/settings.sh and
+$WM_PROJECT_DIR/etc/settings.csh appropriately and finally update the
+environment variables as in section 3.
+</p>
+<p>
+Now go to the top-level source directory $WM_PROJECT_DIR and execute the
+top-level build script './Allwmake'. In principle this will build everything,
+but if problems occur with the build order it may be necessary to update the
+environment variables and re-execute 'Allwmake'. If you experience
+difficulties with building the source-pack, or your platform is not currently
+supported, please contact <enquiries@OpenCFD.co.uk> to negotiate a support
+contract and we will do the port and maintain it for future releases.

+
+<p>OpenFOAM-1.5 is is a significant upgrade to version 1.4 in ways which are

+</p>
+<p>
+Most of the developments for this release are in: new applications, e.g. for
+multiphase flow and cavitation, buoyancy-flow and heat transfer, high speed
+flows and even molecular dynamics; new utilities, e.g. for meshing and case
+monitoring; and, new modelling, e.g. in Lagrangian particle tracking,
+radiation and rotating frames of reference. With these new applications come
+numerous new example cases.

+New rhoCentralFoam solver for high-speed, viscous, compressible flows using
+non-oscillatory, central-upwind schemes.

+<li>
+New interDyMFoam solver for 2 incompressible, isothermal, immiscible fluids
+using a VoF phase-fraction based interface capturing approach, with optional
+mesh motion and mesh topology changes including adaptive mesh
+(un)refinement. Useful for simulations such as tank filling, sloshing ---
+using solid body motion e.g. SDA or SKA (6DoF) — and slamming (using the
+mesh motion solver) and other large-scale applications that benefit from the
+efficiency gain of adaptive mesh (un)refinement of the interface.
+</li>
+<li>
+New compressibleInterFoam solver for 2 compressible, isothermal, immiscible
+fluids using a volume of fluid (VoF) phase-fraction approach for
+interface-capturing. The momentum and other fluid properties are of the
+"mixture" and a single momentum equation is solved. Turbulence is modelled
+using a run-time selectable incompressible LES model.
+</li>
+<li>
+New interPhaseChangeFoam solver for 2 incompressible, isothermal, immiscible
+fluids with phase-change, e.g. cavitation. Uses VoF interface capturing,
+with momentum and other fluid properties described for the ``mixture'' and a
+single momentum equation is solved. The set of phase-change models provided
+are designed to simulate cavitation but other mechanisms of phase-change are
+supported within this solver framework.
+</li>
+<li>
+New rasCavitatingFoam solver for transient cavitation using a barotropic
+compressibility model, with RAS turbulence.
+</li>
+<li>
+New lesCavitatingFoam solver for transient cavitation using a barotropic
+compressibility model, with LES turbulence.
+</li>
+<li>
+New chtMultiRegionFoam solver that couples conjugate heat transfer in a
+solid to a buoyancy-driven flow simulation.
+</li>
+<li>
+New PDRFoam solver for compressible premixed/partially-premixed turbulent
+combustion that includes porosity/distributed resistance (PDR) modelling to
+handle regions containing solid blockages which cannot be resolved by the
+mesh. Requires the PDR fields.
+</li>
+<li>
+New lesBuoyantFoam solver for transient, buoyant, turbulent flow of
+compressible fluids for ventilation and heat-transfer. Turbulence is
+modelled using a run-time selectable compressible LES model.
+</li>
+<li>
+New rhoPimpleFoam solver for transient, turbulent flow of compressible
+fluids for ventilation and heat-transfer. Uses the flexible PIMPLE
+(PISO-SIMPLE) solution for time-resolved and pseudo-transient simulations.
+</li>
+<li>
+New buoyantSimpleRadiationFoam solver for steady-state, buoyant, turbulent
+flow of compressible fluids with radiation, for ventilation and
+heat-transfer.
+</li>
+<li>
+New rhoTurbTwinParcelFoam solver for transient for compressible, turbulent
+flow with two thermo-clouds.
+</li>
+<li>
+New gnemdFOAM solver for general purpose molecular dynamics that simulates
+atoms in arbitrary shaped domains and average atomic/molecular quantities to
+the mesh to create field data.

+<li>
+New mdEqulibrationFoam solver to equilibrates and/or preconditions molecular
+dynamics systems.
