linux运行openfoam,linux安装openfoam（以4.0版本为例）

OpenFOAM-4.x-version-4.0.tar.gz(OpenFOAM的源代码)

ThirdParty-4.x-version-4.0.tar.gz(一些第三方软件的源代码)

解压后分别重命名为OpenFOAM-4.0和ThirdParty-4.0，放在家目录下的OpenFOAM目录下。

在.bashrc文件中加入：

source $HOME/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-4.0/etc/bashrc

然后执行：

source ~/.bashrc

安装openfoam依赖项

sudo apt-get install build-essential flex bison git-core cmake zlib1g-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-thread-dev libopenmpi-dev openmpi-bin gnuplot libreadline-dev libncurses-dev libxt-dev

如果要编译安装paraview,则还要安装paraview依赖项

sudo apt-get install qt4-dev-tools libqt4-dev libqt4-opengl-dev freeglut3-dev libqtwebkit-dev libmysqlclient18 libqt4-help libqt4-sql libqt4-sql-mysql paraview-python

编译OpenFOAM

进入OpenFOAM-4.0代码目录，执行：

./Allwmake

编译ParaView

进入ThirdParty-4.0目录，执行：

./makeParaview

完成后测试openFOAM自带的一个例子：

cd $FOAM_RUN

cp -r $FOAM_TUTORIALS/incompressible/simpleFoam/pitzDaily .

cd pitzDaily

blockMesh

simpleFoam

paraFoam

如果并行编译时提示lockfile apt install procmail
