sdfFoam

A simple OpenFOAM solver for calculating the sign distance function (SDF) on given mesh based on the pre-defined patch.

• Version: Compatible with OpenFOAM7 (WSL2)

Example:

Calculate the distance from the grid to the surface of the square cylinder.

Usage

1. Download the source code

• git clone https://github.com/pic-wang/sdfFoam.git

2. To use sdfFoam, follow these steps:

• Set up your OpenFOAM case with mesh.
• Specify the boundary patch from which you want to calculate the signed distance field. You can do this by setting the wallPatchID variable in the sdfFoam.C

3. Compile the solver:

• cd sdfFoam
• wmake

4. On your caseDict, running sdfFoam:
