User's Guide

Welcome to the OFFBEAT User’s Guide! The following pages will guide you through the essential aspects of using OFFBEAT to perform fuel behavior simulations.

Warning

The usage instructions in this guide assume that the user has a basic understanding of OpenFOAM usage, including the basic workflow (mesh-generation, preprocessing, running solvers and postprocessing). The user should understand the basic dictionary format for OpenFOAM.

We recommend that new users work through the OpenFOAM v9 User Guide from the OpenFOAM foundation or the equivalent OpenFOAM v2312 User Guide from the ESI group before attempting to use OFFBEAT.
