foamio

OpenFOAM addons, Python routines and helpers.

CLI

• Clean up a case (including postProcessing/) from a particular time-step

  foam_case=<path>
  foamio --debug clean $foam_case --interval '<time>:' --exclude-first && \
  foamio clean $foam_case/postProcessing/ -i "$(foamListTimes -case $foam_case -latestTime):"

• Clean up a case (including postProcessing/) from a particular time-step but using foamListTimes -rm

  foam_case=<path>
  foamListTimes -case $foam_case -time '<time>:' -rm && \:
  foamio clean $foam_case/postProcessing/ -i "$(foamListTimes -case $foam_case -latestTime):"

• Create tabulated entry for physicalProperties using CoolProp:

  foamio -v tabulate H2O constant/ --pressure 1e+05 5e+06 2500 --temperature 293.15 393.15 100 --entries DMASS HMASS CPMASS CVMASS VISCOSITY CONDUCTIVITY
  

  Generated entry can be imported in mixture dictionary as:

  equationOfState
  {
      rho
      {
          #include "H2O.DMASS"
      }
  }

Module

• Read OpenFOAM-dictionary (with #calcs, etc.) as cached Python-dict:

  from functools import cache
  from pathlib import Path
  import tempfile
  
  from foamio.foam import Caller as Foam, read
  @cache
  def read_dict(root: Path, orig: Path) -> dict:
      """
      Args:
          root (Path): Absolute path to OpenFOAM-case.
          orig (Path): OpenFOAM-dictionary path relative to FOAM_CASE.
      """
  
      # foamio.foam.read works only for expanded dictionaries => expand to a temporary file using `foamDictionary` and read from this file
      with tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(dir=root / orig.parent) as tmp:
          fname = Path(tmp.name).relative_to(root)
          Foam().Dictionary(orig, case=root, expand=True, output=str(fname))
          return read(root, tmp.name)
