OpenFOAM pimpleFoam Solver: Parallel MPI
. Because of complexity reasons, it would be better to runthe case in parallel. OpenFOAM provides an integratedMPI tool for all the implemented solvers;
. The MPI (Message Passing Interface) is a language-independent communications protocol used to programparallel computers;
. Algorithm steps:
◦ decompose the domain using the commanddecomposePar;
◦ run the solver in parallel using the MPI tool:mpirun -np <proc_number> pimpleFoam -parallel.
◦ reconstruct the data using the commandreconstructPar.
