Compressible Two-Phase One-Fluid Solver (compressiblePhaseChangeFoam)

<h1>CompressibePhaseChangeFoam</h1>

This dataset contains the compressible two-phase, one-fluid solver called compressiblePhaseChangeFoam, developed and maintained by the Institute for Combustion Technology in Stuttgart.

<h2>Versions</h2>
This dataset contains the full git repository of the compressiblePhaseChangeFoam solver with the complete development history, starting in 2018. For some publications, older versions of the software have been used. While the newest version should produce the same results, it might be necessary for older cases to checkout the corresponding code version with the Git hash.
By providing the complete Git history, all versions can be checked out, and the development process can be recovered as well.

<h2>Build & Install Requirements</h2>
The solver is based on OpenFOAM v2012 and is tested for the following settings:
<ul>
<li>Operating system: Ubuntu 22.04</li>
<li>Compiler: gcc-9.5</li>
<li>OpenFOAM version: v2012 (compiled with gcc-9.5)</li>
</ul>

<h2>Third Party Libraries</h2>
The presented solver uses a tabulated thermophysical properties library called tabularThermo. This library is independently developed by the same authors as the solver; however, it is not publicly available.
To allow compilation and computation with this library, the tabularThermo git sub-module is included in the tar archive.

The solver also includes some unit testing with the Catch2 framework, which is included as a single header library.
The Catch2 library is published under the BSL-1.0 license.
