Browser-local OpenFOAM dictionary generators, setup helpers, residual-log checks, and case-folder readiness tools.
Use ScholarTool OpenFOAM helpers to generate starter dictionaries, review finite-volume setup choices, estimate Courant-limited time steps, plan wall treatment, parse residual logs, and check pasted case-folder listings without executing OpenFOAM or uploading case files.
Published generator entries in this category.
Create editable controlDict text for OpenFOAM run control, time stepping, write intervals, and optional maxCo settings.
Create editable fvSchemes text for common OpenFOAM finite-volume scheme sections and solver-family context.
Create editable fvSolution text for pressure-velocity coupling, linear solvers, residual controls, and relaxation factors.
Create editable blockMeshDict text for simple block, patch, cell-count, and grading workflows.
Published helper entries in this category.
Create field-file patch snippets and warnings for common OpenFOAM patch roles and fields.
Create turbulenceProperties guidance, field reminders, and y-plus compatibility warnings for basic OpenFOAM setup.
Estimate y-plus, first-layer height, and wall-treatment compatibility for OpenFOAM turbulence setup.
Parse residual logs, summarize detected fields, and export residual-analysis summaries without uploading logs.
Published calculator entries in this category.
Estimate Co, deltaT, or required cell size for transient OpenFOAM planning with explicit formulas and warnings.
Published checker entries in this category.
Review pasted case-path text for required folders and dictionary files without reading the user's filesystem.
No. They generate text, parse pasted logs, and check visible setup patterns in the browser. They do not execute OpenFOAM, Docker, WebAssembly solvers, shell commands, or remote solver APIs.
No. OpenFOAM dictionary text, residual logs, and case notes are processed locally in the browser state for the active page session.
Treat them as starter text. Verify syntax, dimensions, patch names, solver compatibility, and physical assumptions against the documentation for your installed OpenFOAM version before running a case.
The first OpenFOAM release covers controlDict, fvSchemes, fvSolution, simple blockMeshDict geometry, common boundary-condition suggestions, turbulence-model selection, Courant time-step estimates, y-plus wall-treatment planning, residual-log parsing, and case-folder checklist review.
ScholarTool category pages prioritize calculation context, unit discipline, assumptions, and interpretation so users can understand when a result is appropriate and when validated software or standards are required.
