# OpenFOAM periodic channel experiment

## What is case manager for openfoam periodic channel experiment?

This type creates input decks for an array of simulations for steady state,
fully developed flows in a 2D channel for different Reynolds. It demonstrated
simput capability to manage multiple cases that share a set of common setting
with only a small fraction of inputs exposed to the user.

## Simput Integration

Simput provides a simple way to write any kind of text file.

This project is meant to illustrate how Simput can be used to generate
templated files for multiple cases. Simput requires a javascript description of
any user input. To build a Simput package use;

```sh
$ Simput -c src/ -o versions/ -t openfoam-periodic
```

Add the compiled package to Simput (already done)

```
cp ./versions/openfoam-periodic.js ../{static|dist}/types/
```

Register it in the `../{static|dist}/index.html` (already done)

```
Simput.registerType('openfoam-periodic', ['./types/openfoam-periodic.js']);
```

## Running Simput

### Running interactively
The following command will start a server which serves Simput's interactive form.

```sh
$ Simput -p 8080
```

Then drag a file with the following content

```
{
  "type": "openfoam-periodic",
  "data": {}
}
```
