An open-source solver for wind-driven rain based on OpenFOAM
The solver is tested for the following OpenFOAM versions:
- OpenFOAM-org (OpenFOAM Foundation) v6, v7, v8, v9, v10, v11, v12, v13
- OpenFOAM-com (OpenCFD-ESI) v1806, v2006, v2106
You can compile the solver for a specific OpenFOAM version by checking out the commit with corresponding tag. For example, for OpenFOAM v9:
git clone https://github.com/OpenFOAM-BuildingPhysics/windDrivenRainFoam.git
cd windDrivenRainFoam
git checkout tags/of-org_v9.0
wmake
See the list of tags for different versions here
Read windDrivenRainFoam wiki for documentation.
Tutorial case for the WDR exposure of an isolated cubic building can be found here.
Please refer to the dataset of field experiments and the relevant papers for the validation study.
